Drummond Warrior's recent second came in a claimer and this is tougher. Fit For Function is best at Dundalk these days though has been narrowly beaten twice in his last three starts on Turf including at Fairyhouse on Monday when BRAVE DISPLAY was just behind. The latter, already a winner twice this season, has slightly the better of the weights and can reverse the form and land this. Red Heel was returning from a break when making all for a comfortable victory at Bellewstown though a 9lb rise won't help while Howling Wolf would have to be a threat proving the ground doesn't turn soft as he's run well in handicaps the last twice.
