Maska Pony is heavily hit by a rise in the weights and could struggle to duplicate a winning performance off this mark. Evan Williams has failed to find a winner at the course so far this term but his runners are in good nick and Bonzeno Queen represents for him here. PRINCESS TAHOE runs off bottom weight and after a much improved effort last time could be the one to side with. Galley Slave is still a maiden from sixty one starts and offers little appeal whilst Isle Of Inishmore has never shown any promise.
