Red Key was having her first start since December when a close third to Guzzle An Go at Clonmel a month ago and is improving enough to go well here from 2lbs higher. SARTEANO won a chase at Down Royal early last month and followed up on the flat at Tramore on Saturday. He's obviously progressing and looks well enough handicapped over timber to take this. Dirar hasn't run since December when scoring at Wolverhampton but he's respected nonetheless as he's just 3lbs higher than when scoring over timber at Southwell last July. Both Wilde Wit Pleasure and King Ali are useful and respected despite their big weights.
