Knockraha Boss won here on New Year's Day, his only victory in 38 starts, and prefers softer ground than he's likely to get here. Ilikehim is 0-21 but has been running well over timber and on the Flat. Still Alive doesn't win often but had a spin on the Flat last month after unseating his rider at Limerick. INFLUENTIAL LADY was having only her second start for Philip Dempsey after arriving from the UK when a very good third over 2m3f at Cork where she only faded close home. She could be good enough in a moderate handicap, though Gragara Tara showed her first sign of ability in a course and distance handicap last month. Winning point-to-pointer Trees Valley won here on Friday so has obvious claims if competing under a penalty.
