Bold Ribb won a maiden at Dundalk back in January but debuts for a new yard following a lay-off. Amathus bids for a hat-trick of course and distance victories raised 4lb but it was soft going when Zabbie won here a week ago, though she’s one to consider. FLYING SPIRIT (NAP) won over today’s trip on the Polytrack here last year but has gone close over a mile on Turf recently and Heather Main’s charge looks capable of scoring off his current mark back over this shorter distance.
