For a low-grade contest there are one or two interesting ones in this and the market should be informative. FLYING FOCUS certainly caught the eye on his last two starts (both here) showing that he had the ability to win off this mark and he looks versatile enough to cope with the drop in trip. His fellow Irish raider Templemary Boy needs noting in the market with conditions more in his favour and with the headgear back on. Kenmare River is another three-year-old who looks capable at this level although not quite the finished article with Natajack and Highwayman two of the older bunch that could cause a threat.
