The versatile Game Puppeteer chased home Airlie Beach in a maiden on the Flat here on Thursday and had been running reasonably well over fences earlier. Miracle Cure, a winner over hurdles for Venetia Williams, ran his best race for new connections at Cork a couple of weeks ago and can get involved but ATLOMAN COTTAGE gets the vote after only fading in the closing stages at Limerick where she looked the likely winner for most of the race. Boytonrath hasn't shown much in six starts while Ayelya beat the perennial runner-up Canny Tom, who finally lost his maiden tag here on Friday, in a Kilbeggan maiden but has been hit with a 7lb rise.
