TAWSEEF (NAP) was beaten 19 lengths at Galway last month but really ought to be up to a winning a race like this if reproducing the form he showed when second at Limerick and Fairyhouse in April. According to the handicapper, he has 15lb in hand on Rebel Laker who failed to justify favouritism in a similar contest here 12 days ago when he finished just ahead of the thoroughly-exposed Island Villa. Exit Seven ran well at Limerick in the spring but has shown little in three subsequent outings.
