In a race that's likely to favour those drawn low TATLISU can register a success on his first visit to Ireland here. The selection is race fit having been running at Newcastle during the winter and having finished a close third last time out he can register an eighth career success in this. Mizaah was an impressive winner first time out last year and can defy a poor draw by claiming second while the veteran Maarek and the unexposed Sharliyna can fight it out for third with the latter dropping down to 6f for the first time here.
