Few of these enter the fray in any kind of form though that doesn't apply to ROMAN NUMERAL, who gained his first success at Cork last month. That race was run at a crawl, however, and a 7lb rise makes things more difficult but this is an equally poor event and he's taken to complete the double. City Line is dropping in the ratings after a losing run stretching back 17 outings but still looks high enough and Do The Bookies looks to have a better chance at the weights though he's gone the same number of races without winning. The Gnathologist gained his only success in 20 outings on this track but is running poorly and though Breeze With Ease reverts to hurdling on a better mark than over fences he's another not in the best of heart.
