Roving Lad found Sligo's 2m2f on the short side last month but stayed on strongly to complete a double initiated over 2m5f at Limerick. He's an obvious threat from 9lb higher but VICALUS looks the one to be on. Susan Finn's mare was having only her sixth career start when chasing home Fairymount Lord over this trip at Wexford in April and has the potential to go on to better things. Cerveza Dinero is up 7lb for a battling success at Limerick but that shouldn't prevent another big run while Onzo Mor is quite well handicapped back over timber. The veteran Our Eric is gradually regaining his form and a long absence shouldn't be too much of a problem for Thewesthowaya as he won a bumper on his debut at Limerick just over a year ago and looks well enough treated for his handicap debut over timber.
