Rock Etoile has won two of his last three outings, both over a mile, but is raised a further 6lb. SUPER CUB has yet to win since arriving in Ireland in March last year but a recent neck defeat at Gowran suggests he can score off his current mark. Dazzling Spirit won three times last autumn but has something to prove 8lb higher than when last successful while Dundalk maiden winner Maid To Shine has yet to figure on Turf. Sense Of Security will appreciate today’s faster going while Allo Arry makes his handicap debut for a new yard.
