FONS VIVUS showed much improved form when second in a mares’ race earlier in the month and could be capable of defying a small rise up the handicap. Ardera Ru remains a maiden yet her recent effort at Gowran Park has to go down as encouraging. Well Polly loves nothing more than a slog and she’ll certainly get that here and there was money around for Lake Chad at Clonmel and Philip Fenton’s grey may be well treated relative to his chasing mark. Arctic Ambition and Robindevidastar have been declared as reserves but the pair would be very much of interest if they manage to get a start.
