BLACKPOOL (1) looks progressive. Off the mark at the third attempt last month when a 1.75L winner of a 1m5f maiden here. Ticks plenty of boxes. Leading contender. BARNSO (3) has been going well with a 0.5L success in a 1m2f handicap at Fairyhouse preceding a smart 2L second tackling the 1m5f Ulster Derby Premier Handicap at Down Royal. Worth including. TAMRAT (2) showed a good level of ability in the same Down Royal race finishing third that day. Placed tackling 1m4f at this track previously. Holds claims. LA VITA NOVA (5) shed the maiden tag on second start contesting a 1m3f maiden at Limerick. Key runner.
