Many of these arrive badly out of form and have dropped in the weights accordingly. POLLY DOUGLAS is one of those running well and she was only just held by Pillar over an extended 6f at Listowel. She was earlier just over a length behind Gopsies Daughter over this trip at the Curragh and has a big pull in the weights so should reverse the form with Denis Hogan's mare and take this. Baby Power came good at the 13th time of asking at Naas where she got up right on the line to catch Dash D'Or. A 5lb rise is manageable so she has to be respected while Handsome Maverick produced his best run for a long time at Fairyhouse on Monday and has Kevin Manning's assistance this time.
