A Rated landed a point at Lingstown in November and made a promising debut in a Punchestown bumper in January behind the odds-on Battleford. He'll take some beating but JUSTMEMYSELFANDI may have his measure. Liz Doyle's charge showed his inexperience when chasing home Augustin at Thurles last month but will have come on nicely for the run and can go one better. Fire In His Eyes hasn't shown much to date while Shanaway was beaten a long way into third at Thurles in January.
