The top pair arrive here carrying penalties. Naturally Blond showed his liking for fast ground when taking advantage of a drop in the weights at Wexford on Friday while Mister Butler was always travelling well when landing a 2m4f Bellewstown handicap on Saturday. The latter can come out best of the pair despite dropping back in trip but CIANKYLE won so easily here last month that a 9lb rise doesn't look enough to prevent a double. Realta Dawn made a reasonable handicap debut at Downpatrick and should make progress while Feeling The Love can go well as she hasn't been staying longer trips and is better judged on a close third at Down Royal in May.
