CARLO BIANCONI (1) was first past the post at Sligo (1m2 1/2f) in May only to be disqualified as his rider claimed the incorrect allowance. Two more solid efforts have followed in competitive handicaps. Leading chance. STARIAM (8) finished second among maiden company past three starts. Stamina assured for this test. Key player. Smart hurdler SUPRISE PACKAGE (6) took second in a flat maiden at this track last summer. Boasts the highest official rating and looks dangerous to ignore. Jumpers flat race winner CAST A SPELL (7) holds place claims after a respectable flat debut at Roscommon.
