Shes Flat Tothemat enters the fray in cracking form having won two of her last three though both were on good going and more rain wouldn't help. Mister Butler was a long way behind her at Wexford last time but had run much better over fences at Killarney earlier. Allduckornodinner has been in winning form over hurdles and wasn't beaten far when third over fences at Downpatrick in June so should make his presence felt. MASH POTATO has been sent to Cartmel for his last three starts, coming home clear there last time. He likes the ground and trip and can complete a double back on home turf.
