DAVINIA'S TIP has been chasing and has scored twice already this year. She landed a handicap at Wexford in good style last time and can race from a lower mark so gets the vote. Hard Bought won over this trip and January and an extra half-mile last month. He'll need a strong gallop but could run into a place on ground that will suit. Klinnsman hasn't really shown enough in maidens to warrant support though he had some fair form in bumpers but Autumn Shades is running well and Kamjo, who was behind her at Downpatrick, could give the form a boost in the opener. Hurricane Sky could also get a boost if Shabra's Bertolini runs well in the previous race as he was conceding 16lb when narrowly beaten by him at Punchestown.
