Carvelas won a claimer at Dundalk before joining John Jenkins but should have done better in a seller last time.

Casemates Square remains unexposed as he returns to 1m4f but FILAMENT OF GOLD scored off a higher mark over course and distance last year and with Gary Mahon taking a further 5lb off his back today, Roy Brotherton’s charge gets the nod.
