Pari Passu takes a step-up to this trip for the first time and looks like being suited as he wasn't stopping over 1m2f at Cork last time. Oromo is 0-22 but almost lost his maiden tag over hurdles at Down Royal on Friday so is greatly respected. Cool Artist's best run was on this track a year ago and she'll be better for a recent spin at Clonmel but there's every chance that DIXIE HIGHWAY can follow up his victory at Tipperary. He's 5lb higher here and that success came on soft ground but he's won on this sort of going in the past and this looks a moderate contest. Any Time is 0-18 but stays the trip and wasn't running badly on the all-weather over the winter.
