GINO BELLA came 16 lengths clear of the third when narrowly denied a first success at Cork a couple of weeks ago and a 4 lb rise may not stop her if showing up in similar form. Tingarran Express won his second start back from a break here at a similar time last year and is a possible threat with Darragh O'Keeffe taking the reins. Blue Train and Market Ready are interesting handicap newcomers, with market support for the former potentially significant given who trains him.
