It's hard to imagine a more difficult start to the day. The Brock Inn has a course and distance victory to her credit but looks held by Dollar And A Dream on their run at Fairyhouse last time when the latter just prevailed. Admiral Brian looks a heavy ground performer having gained his second victory in those conditions at Ballinrobe while Sir Scorpion, who was in good form at this time a year ago, looked on the way back at Navan last month. The four-year-old Jazz Ranger looks reasonably treated for his handicap debut though he was behind ROCONGA on the Flat at Dundalk a couple of weeks ago and Edward O'Grady's charge can go well here providing the ground doesn't come up too soft. Pakman was due to run in the 3.40 yesterday so that result should be monitored but Tetraites, who was the easy winner of a Galway maiden in September, has been well beaten on the Flat subsequently.
