AMBITIOUS SUSSIE (5) recorded his 2nd career win last time at this track, scoring by 4 lengths (28.80). Solid formlines coming through his last run. Form reads well for this. KILGRANEY NIKE (1) has been in sparkling form recording back to back wins, the latest at this track last time over 480m in (28.70). Has a solid record from this box including two wins and a minor placing. In sparkling form and looks the one to beat again.

Racing well of late. In the money two starts back at Dundalk then finished third at his latest appearance in a SS0 at Dundalk over 366m (21.43). This might be too rich.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 4 lengths over 480m at this track in a handy 28.80, beating Changed Times. Solid formlines coming through that last run. Looks a major player.
