Stowaway Forever has only found one too good the last twice at Naas but still gives the impression that he needs a bit further. Play The Game finally got his head in front in a Fairyhouse maiden and should now kick on. Templemore Dream has been pretty consistent and so has Monotype. It was be no surprise to see Oscars Den bounce back and he makes more appeal than top weight Charlie Stout and Mick The Boyo. PAT’S OSCAR loves the mud and bolted up in a novices’ handicap at Fairyhouse. An 8lb rise gives Gordon Elliott’s mare more to do here but she may be up to the task.
