FormscanBy Tom Weekes - WEE PABLO might follow-up last month's Leopardstown win, under a 9lbs higher mark. WEE PABLO was well-backed to win then and having won well, appears very progressive with the form being boosted by the third-placed horse winning subsequently. Ottawa Fire himself won easily on handicap debut and first run for her new yard at Gowran last month. He has been hit with an 11lbs hike for winning and meets faster ground today but should still run a solid race, dropping back down a furlong. El Padre ran very well on handicap debut in a good race at Cork last month and being a lightly raced 5yo, is open to plenty improvement. Pretty Rebel was narrowly beaten at Gowran last month but might ideally prefer easier ground while Oneiroi ran very well on reappearance following a 274 days layoff here last month and has form back over today's 7f trip. Rocky Dreams will be better suited by today's trip having stayed on late over 5f at Tipperary last time.
