Last month's runner-up finish at Punchestown was a return to form for STAY WITH IT and, from a 4lb higher mark, he's fancied to go on better now dropped back in trip today. Zipporah has been in consistent form of late and looks certain to give his running but the handicapper may have foiled him for now. Off a break, Wilms Warrior is one to note in the betting on handicap bow while Fridaynightlights is not out of things and has a jockey in a rich vein of form for company now.
