Race preview
AMPESON decisively won a better grade of handicap at Fairyhouse on Sunday and can follow up under his mandatory penalty which is 2lb less than what he's been raised for that success. That was over 6f but he's a dual winner over this trip on the all-weather. She's In The Game was consistent last term including a 7f win under this rider at the Curragh. Her trainer's horses have been hitting the crossbar and she'll come on for her respectable reappearance over 6f in May. Craft Irish scored over 6f at Sligo and the third and fifth have won since. She's another with winning form over this trip and a 5lb rise looks fair.
