Any support behind Motahassen on return from a long layoff must be respected, given his previous maiden form looks solid now and his trainer is going great guns. Likewise, stablemate Fidaaha isn't overlooked while The Eagle could have more to offer on the back of a decent effort at Dundalk last time. Small Bit Of Love is another newcomer to pay attention to but SOMETIMES A FOX has done enough in two runs at Dundalk and Killarney to warrant a suggestion he'll have enough in his locker to win a maiden over this slightly longer trip.
- Sometimes A Fox
- Small Bit Of Love
- Motahassen
