Catwilldo narrowly failed to complete the hat-trick at Down Royal but finished practically upsides Acroleina, who got a lot closer than at Navan previously. Ucanchoose was in good form over an extra furlong here last month so goes on the short-list while dropping back to the minimum should suit Stinky Socks as she weakened close home over 6f at Navan on her reappearance. RED ALL STAR has finished behind a couple of these lately but may well be the pick of the weights today. He'll get every assistance from Ross Coakley and could be a bit of value from a decent draw. Battleroftheboyne is another with decent claims, though might find this on the sharp side.
