MRS BATT did us a favour when scoring over 7f at Limerick on her reappearance and a 4lb rise may not be enough to stop her scoring again as she should have no problems with the longer trip. Mount Abora is still a maiden but has been going well enough on Polytrack at Dundalk to be on the short-list while a 6lb rise for last week's victory in a big field at Naas shouldn't prevent another big effort from Andalucia Lady. Ain Jalout, who was behind in that latter race, looked in need of the run and can get closer while the lightly-raced Frontier Cabin had a pipe-opener over the minimum trip at Tipperary last week and should be much better suited by this distance.
