Verdict
Chris O'Donovan was entrusted with the ride on Carbon King when that one landed a real touch at Naas in December and his 7lb claim on board WEST BREEZE can prove invaluable. Mick Winters' charge has returned from a spell over fences in good form and was only headed on the run-in over 2m4f here last month. Rob James is one of the more experienced riders here and Doyouthinkso would go close on his victory over two miles at Tramore and he was racing over fences when well beaten there next time. Lovely Reaction had shown nothing in maidens before making a winning handicap debut when well supported at Limerick. That was over the minimum and she's 9lb higher though today's rider can claim 3lb more. Drumderry Harlem makes her handicap debut after an improved run at Wexford though that was on heavy ground.
