NIVEN has done very well on testing ground this spring and though just failing to get to Camile at Tipperary has a 3lb pull in the weights which can enable him to reverse the form. Rayisa won at Gowran in September then ran a cracking race in a Listed contest at the Curragh so there should be much more to come from her this season. Theodorico didn't handle the heavy ground and Group 3 company at Leopardstown but is much better than that while Prove The Point appears to act on anything, though it was very heavy when he won at Sligo earlier this month and some of the results from that day have proved misleading. The Mouse Doctor is definitely on the upgrade and can make his presence felt in an open handicap.
