Plenty in with a squeak but BLUE PEAK left previous efforts behind to get off the mark in decisive fashion at Roscommon last month. Michael Grassick's 4-y-o is fancied to defy a 6 lb rise in the weights at the expense of Shona Mea, who ended a long losing run at Gowran recently and is expected to go well again for her in-form yard. Slamadoor and Kampala Beach are another couple to consider.
