Useful at best, THE LIFFEY drops into a claimer and looks well placed to strike back over 1m. Stablemate Mehman showed improved form when third a week ago, keeping on well despite an unfavourable position, and can make his presence felt if seeing out the longer trip, while Una Matata has more on her plate but arrives in the form of her life with back-to-back wins here.
