Karen's Gift's victories between the flags and in a maiden hurdle came on good ground but she acts in testing conditions and should get into contention though it's about time LAKE CHAD was winning again. Runner-up on heavy going here last month, he occupied the same position in similar conditions at Tramore on New Year's Day and can go one better. Rolly Bowley Boy has never won but made a very encouraging handicap debut at Limerick last month and won't need much more to get into the frame. West Breeze had been chasing before running very well in a huge field over timber at Cork and should be capable of better.
