A good run from Sexy Secret in the previous race would boost confidence in the chances of MATRAASH. Daniel Loughnane's charge beat the former over track and trip at the start of the month and this looks no tougher, despite a 4lb higher mark. Tartan Gigha may do better today with a recent comeback run under his belt but Lindart has struggled since landing a seller at Lingfield in December. Prohibition and Leitrim Pass return to action but may still figure given today's distinctly modest opposition.
