With her stable still in fine form, recent point-to-point winner Easy To Find is one to note on her handicap debut. Varene De Vauzelle didn't quite get home over 2m6f at Thurles but is on a decent mark and should get into contention though MIC MILANO will take some beating if in the same kind of mood as when scoring at Limerick last month. That was his first run for a year and he'd once looked a promising type so a quick double looks on the cards after being raised just 5lb. Ice Cool is likely to provide a stern test as he was in the lead at this trip before just failing to hold Candle Hill at Thurles. De Glebe Star was a 50/1 chance when runner-up to Mount Masada at Fairyhouse but a similar level of form would see him in the picture here.
