Nothing To Lose popped up at 25/1 at Fairyhouse recently but the handicapper has taken exception and raised him 14lb. I Will Excel has slipped down the weights since winning a maiden while The Mcgregornator was placed at Ayr on his penultimate start. Bubbly Bellini has crept up the handicap despite not winning and preference is for the less-exposed MELISANDRE (NAP), who never figured on her recent comeback and handicap debut but several subsequent winners have come out of the maiden race she won at Dundalk last year and much better is expected today.
