Dr Mikey has won twice over the track and trip though seems better over further these days. Strange Notions took advantage of heavy going at Ballinrobe so more rain would aid her cause while LUCKY MAX completed his double in impressive style here last month. The latter has been hit with a 15lb rise but Jack Foley could only claim 2lb for that latest victory. Waterville Dancer was a smart performer back in 2018/19 and it wouldn't be the first time his trainer has resurrected a career while the progressive Mahlers Dollar makes his handicap debut from what looks a fair mark. Mighty Meggsie completed a double on good going but pulled too hard on her hat-trick attempt.
