Comporta has never won but ran well over this trip at Gowran last month though he could have done without a 3lb rise. Doyen Dancer was returning from a long break when well beaten in that event and should get closer while Getaway Glenda produced a 66/1 shock in a 2m Tramore maiden and makes her handicap debut. Kilmurry has never won but has gone very close at Downpatrick the last twice so has an obvious chance though CRIMSON CHIEF may have his measure. A winning point-to-pointer, he ran very well in a Tramore handicap over fences last month and reverts to hurdles on a 9lb lower mark.
