Verdict
Hurricane Season was only beaten a nose at Roscommon last time but steps up in trip. Skimming Stone's second at Limerick a fortnight ago looks stronger form though she, too, is attempting to go one better over a longer distance. MAGICAL MOON was still in contention when falling over hurdles last time but his earlier second over today's trip at Tramore is more pertinent and Michael Hourigan's charge gets the nod. Adatara has bits of form that could see her figure and Viva Diva could also get involved if back to her best.
