Having had the required three runs for a handicap mark, Kildare Kitten is expected to do better this season from her lowly mark and is one to note. In Good Voice went off the boil after early promise while Port Elizabeth owes her supporters after being well backed on several occasions last term. REASONS UNKNOWN didn't show too much in his three runs last year but made an encouraging return to action over today's trip at Leopardstown and with just 1lb extra can gain his first success. Adrian McGuinness has acquired Night Singer from Howard Johnson and it shouldn't be long before he's proving his worth while Late Debate was racing over a trip much too short at Dundalk and is one to note in the betting.
