Solid recent form is thin on the ground in this handicap and MACHINE LEARNER looks the way to go. He showed next to nothing in 3 starts for Padraig Roche last year, but there were very encouraging signs on his belated reappearance on debut for new connections at Roscommon and moving back up in trip here will be in his favour. Patrick Joseph and Ardamir can fill the places.
