Kilganer Queen completed a double in lowly company before finding a 5lb rise too much at Listowel last week. Nellie Pledge makes a quick reappearance after a fair run at Galway on Sunday while Just Janice should make a bold bid to concede weight all round. She's been running well without winning since her victory at Clonmel in June and wasn't beaten far in a better race than this at Killarney last month. TAY LANE (NAP) landed a Tipperary maiden in May and hasn't been disgraced in her two subsequent starts over the minimum. This longer trip should bring out the best in her and she can take this before aiming for better things. Verona Opera won over fences at Cartmel in June but is 1-19 over hurdles and was well beaten when third at Downpatrick last time.
