POLLY DOUGLAS has already beaten a few of these and, although, up 10lb for her efforts, she looks to be a rich vein of form, bagging her second win in a row here last month in a 6f handicap when beating 19 rivals. Tookiedoo, who was only beaten 2½L in a Curragh handicap at the end of last month and Shore Step, encouraging sixth of 18 last time out, beaten 3¾L in a Fairyhouse handicap, can fill the minor honours.
