Beat Of The Sea slips further down the weights and is tarting to look well treated but Life Isfor Living will probably need this. Punters Poet only scrambled home at Clonmel and is 5lb higher and that was his first victory in 19 attempts. HELIERS BAY won here in August following a break and held his own later off this higher mark. Jessica Harrington’s charge might be the value getting plenty of weight from the more recent course winner Listenheretomejack and Clonmel maiden winner Tipping Away. Royal Rhythm is not without ability and could also go well with James O’Sullivan taking off 5lb.
