Tribal Path continues on his merry way and goes for a four-timer. He only just held on from Ishebayorgrey at Dundalk last time and there's nothing between them again. Wexford Opera was behind him on heavy ground here but ran better at the Curragh last weekend though he could have done without a 3lb rise. Aimhirgin Lass was also behind in that race on this track but that was her first start since August and John Oxx' filly has the scope to do better. Bubbly Bellini, the winner of 17 races, is by no means badly treated if returning to form but this looks another for Dermot Weld via THE MOORE FACTOR. He pulverised a field of maidens at Gowran last month and though not exactly thrown in for his handicap debut can prove better than his current mark.
