Eshtiaal, narrowly beaten over this trip at Wexford last month, ran at Chester a couple of weeks ago where he performed with credit on a track that didn't play to his strengths. He Is Top Class was in excellent form last summer where he won twice over the minimum trip before finding a 6lb rise and longer trip against him at Killarney. Boherna Lady isn't exactly consistent but is capable of going well at a fair price while Happy As Larry produced easily his best run to date at Limerick and further progress should see him in the frame. Winning point-to-pointer BY THE BANKS (NAP) made all and stayed on very strongly to score at Wexford and though raised 7lb can go in again with Jody McGarvey's claim a big help. Luckynumberslevin also made all over three miles at Limerick though that could prove to be her best trip.
