A case can be made for several of these but CLAREGATE STREET is one of the least exposed and it was fast ground when she finished third at Navan on her handicap debut. Less Of That, Reinas Queen and Easy Boy were all second in softer going on their respective latest starts, though the latter has won on fast going before, while it would be no surprise to see a better effort on today’s ground from Dundalk winner Heavy Weight. Carvelas won over 1m4f at Wolverhampton early this year and Belclare Boy won at Gowran in between a couple of poor efforts.
