Arch Enemy won a Curragh nursery in August and bounced back to winning ways over the track and trip last month for which she's been raised 6lb with Jake Coen claiming 2lb less. James Henry ran well in a big field at Limerick and Colin Keane takes over from an apprentice on his handicap debut. Prophets Voice is still a maiden and has been racing over further while Mr Trinket, a winner over a mile at Dundalk, found 1m4f much too far there next time and this is more like his trip. Brown Eagle has been running in claimers and A Shin Undine has run poorly the last twice so HEATHER BEAR, who had a bit in hand when completing a double at Naas, gets the nod to defy a 6lb rise.
