Ibergman is progressing nicely and showed battling qualities to score over this trip at Navan for which she's been hit with a 9lb rise. Runner-up Caillin Mor has been beaten at Dundalk subsequently though both are consistent at this level and should give a good account. RINGSIDE HUMOUR, who was well beaten in that Navan event, didn't enjoy the best of runs and can do better. She was in excellent form on this sort of ground in the spring so she's handed the vote. Lady Giselle has only won twice in 28 starts but has dropped to her lowest mark in well over two years so is no forlorn hope. Natural Woman landed a heavy-ground maiden at Sligo in May and further rain would enhance her prospects.
