The veteran Better B Quick had been racing between the flags for two years before reappearing over an extended 3m1f here last month and gaining a surprise victory. He's still very well handicapped though this trip looks on the short side. Robin De Roost completed a double when landing this a year ago but hasn't been seen since falling at Tipperary a fortnight later. Dark Outsider is a specialist over this trip on good ground though he's now crept up to his highest ever mark. ISLAND MASTER was having his first start since December when only just failing to concede Model Cloud 13lb at Tramore last month. He's been raised 2lb but still looks well enough treated to go one better. Double Windsor was beaten when unseating in that latter event but gained compensation at Clonmel and can reach a place.
