Calin Des Ongrais ran a fine race to be second on handicap debut last time but it is something of a concern that she's up 3lb now. Dawn Raider has been in good form and also filled the runner-up slot at Fairyhouse over three-miles last month. He finished just ahead of RETURNTOVENDOR on that occasion but may not uphold the form. The selection had previously scored impressively at Tramore and the drop in trip might just help tilt the scales in his favour. Last time out Thurles winner Perfect Man is not easily bypassed, that was an improved effort and he should be capable of building on it. 1. Returntovendor 2. Perfect Man 3. Dawn Raider
