Morotai Marauder appeared to appreciate the fast conditions when landing a handicap at Down Royal in May but an 8lb rise and softer ground saw him produce a moderate effort at Killarney last time. More Claret produced a shock when landing a Tramore maiden but has run poorly in subsequent starts on the flat and over timber. Sonic Beat showed her first sign of ability when staying on over 2m on fast going at Tramore in June and a combination of easier conditions and a longer trip can see him get involved. LIGHTENING SKY landed a handicap over timber at Bellewstown just over a year ago and can race from exactly the same mark here. He showed signs of a return to form at Perth last time and can get back to winning ways.
