Good tempo anticipated with Buzzaroon and Ahab leading the way. MATTHEW MARK (4) closed off stylishly last start at Coleraine to finish fifth. He'll appreciate a rise in distance and can make his presence felt. OUR SASSY LADY (11) is in good form, without winning. Her last start effort at Warracknabeal was solid, settling second in a race that was strongly run. She can win this race. TARSHIN (12) got a long way back and stayed on over the top of some tiring gallopers last start. Looks well placed if she doesn't get too far back in the race. SPACE EQUITY (7) was three wide without cover for the entirety of the race last start. She has figures from last preparation that hold her in good stead for this. SUGGESTED PLAY: Matthew Mark is the bet.
