A very low-grade handicap in which FOX LE BEL (NAP) can finally lose his maiden tag at the 19th time of asking. His best form has been on ground with a bit of give but he's run well enough in his last two and this won't take any winning. Allora Yeats has had 11 starts over timber without winning and is better on the Flat though her second at Clonmel last May would put her in the frame. Frazel Express, a 20-run maiden, ran well in a big field at Naas last month while Mickey Shea's best effort came on good ground at Ballinrobe, though that was a long time ago.
