SALMANINO (NAP) finished runner-up to the well supported Routine Excellence in a Naas maiden before making most in a course and distance handicap. He has a 7lb rise to contend with but has only had five runs so there's plenty more to come. The veteran Powersbomb won over fences here in May and was racing on the Flat in the summer. He's on an 18lb lower mark back over timber and may not be finished yet. Itsnotinit has gained both victories on heavy ground and conditions could come in his favour while Petrol Head is very much better than he showed when sent to Warwick having won a Fairyhouse handicap earlier. Robinstown has been beaten off lower marks in recent handicap starts but Golden Cosmos looks well treated with his rider's claim a bonus.
