Softer ground could see Oliver jump Ship' from Lincolnshire

Andy Oliver's lightly-raced five-year-old also has the option of running in a six-furlong handicap on the same card.

Oliver is worried that his stamina will be stretched to the limit if the ground rides testing, but still hopes the weather enables him to run in the first big handicap of the Irish Flat season.

"He's a horse with limited experience," said the Co Tyrone handler.

"He handled soft last year but I think he's more a speed horse and soft ground will limit his stamina.

"Last season he was second over a mile in soft ground so he does actually handle it but he'd more more effective on better ground.

"I'd still say it's more than likely that he'll run."
