Lots with chances. FIRSTMAN gained his first win since switching from France in a Dundalk claimer ten days ago and looks weighted to go close once more now reverted to handicap company so he gets the nod at the chief expense of Rock On Pedro who failed only narrowly at Thurles and remains with few miles on the clock. Wonder Spirit appeals as the pick of the remainder and a solid place prospect.
