Having been a beaten favourite on his last three starts, NAKED COWBOY is proving expensive to follow and it won't help that he's been raised 2lb for finishing runner-up to No Trimmings at Naas last time. However, this looks a good opportunity for him and he can finally lose that maiden tag. Hollymount King was receiving lumps of weight from No Timmings when beating her at Gowran and then ran out at Galway. Cinnin Oir doesn't have a particularly good strike-rate but she's dropped to a fair mark and looked on the way back to form at Dundalk last time. Acushladear has been making very good progress and landed a C&D handicap in fine style a month ago. A massive 10lb rise is steep but she should make a bold bid to defy the extra and is the main threat.
