Several of these are well handicapped including Bouquet Garni, who is 4lb lower than her only winning mark and only just failed to concede 16lb at Roscommon last time. Cairdiuil has won from an 18lb higher mark though was behind Full Disclosure when the latter scored over the course and distance last month. Pushaq also looks held on that run but Khabaray has won from 9lb higher and is well in compared to his all-weather mark. He isn't in the best of form but it would be no surprise to see a better effort. NISIOR DONN has only had six runs and followed a narrow defeat at Bellewstown with another over this trip at Dundalk. There should be more to come and she's handed the vote.
