Croi Corcra has won three out of five between the flags for Colin Bowe and Barry O'Neill and looks better than Boulta winner Fons Vivus at this stage. Iron Woman looks to have regressed since a close third at Limerick in April while Quaylago was beaten a long way into third at the same venue on St Stephen's Day. Sarah Runsfor Jack has run a bit better than finishing position suggests in both starts and SCARLET WITCH, a winner on the point-to-point course here, bumped into a smart one at Thurles and can go one better.
