A low-grade handicap with 26 runners doesn't look the easiest of events to weigh up but Macs Charm was heavily supported for a maiden at Wexford in October after a ten-month absence and found only one too good. He makes his handicap debut from a lowly mark and should get into contention. Miss Tempo, a 2m5f Tramore maiden winner, didn't stay 3m on heavy ground at Limerick last month while Thedancingfarrier scored over this trip at Cork and ran very well over fences there two weeks ago. Lugg River makes a quick reappearance after falling at the first at Punchestown on Sunday, just her second start for the yard after transferring from the UK. Askann is consistent and expected to be thereabouts but NEVER OFF DUTY was having just his fourth start over hurdles when a close second at Naas and normal progress can see him go one better.
