ALWAYS HOFFA (1) hit the ground running with a scorching early sectional but had to settle for a minor placing when a nose second over 491m at this track, clocking 29.74. Can find winning form. HARRIESTOWN LEE (5) put in a much better performance last start when in the placings at this track behind Headford Toby (29.71) in an A2. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Must be included in calculations. HOLLYOAK PHARAOH (3) box seated before sticking on well to finish 3 lengths away in third (29.79) at this track in an A2 over 491m. Can measure up. BUMPY CUCKOO (6) can return to form after missing the top-three at this circuit last time out.

Flew the lids with a sizzling early split but found one better when clocking 29.74 over 491m at this track. Boxed on well to finish runner-up last time. Leading player.

Started big odds last time but hit the ground running with a sensational early split, giving a sight but fading out of it to finish fourth (29.88) at this track over 491m. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.

Form slipped last start when she finished last in a OR3 on March 28 over 650m at Oxford behind Ballymac Loca beaten 15 lengths (40.91). This looks too tough.

Turned in a better effort over 491m at this track last start, finishing second behind Headford Toby in an A2. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on.
