It's hard to put much faith in a 34-race maiden but, in a race that may not take much winning, I DON'T GET IT is put forward as the answer. Back down to a career-low mark, he could prove tough to peg back if getting his own way on the front end. Mrs Watson opened her account at Clonmel in January and she should remain competitive despite an 8 lb rise, with Mise Raftaire another worth considering.
