Trainer Pat Twomey has a good strike rate at this track, and he has his runners in fine current form. A four-year-old filly by Dubawi. Won a Sligo handicap on her last outing, winning by a comfortable 1½ lengths. Trainer and jockey combination won this race two years ago. Favourites have a strong record in this race: five wins in seven.

Trainer J P O'Brien has two fancied runners in this race, but my preference is for this colt by Dubawi. He has had two outings ??" seventh of thirteen on debut last October over 7 furlongs. The form from that race is working out well, with three winners coming from it. He was fourth on his seasonal reappearance at Limerick over 7 furlongs in April. He will appreciate the longer trip today.

Things are all square at three wins apiece in head-to-heads, but Cristian won the last meeting in straight sets.

Boisson has over 100 clay-court victories in her career and won her first match at this event in good style. That followed being off through injury for a period of time.

Newcastle have had a disappointing league campaign, down in 13th position in the standings. They have, however, picked up two recent home wins against top sides in Man United and Brighton.
