Eric The Grey had some fair form with Charlie Swan and Denis Hogan will want to kick on with him so he's respected. STRONGER THAN ME ended the last campaign in very good form, scoring at Leopardstown on ground with some give in October. He reappeared with a good run on this track and will be difficult to beat. Heart In The Air's victory at Dundalk was her first but she had some form on soft ground last season and should have more progress in her. Pat Smullen is an eye-catching booking for Crafted Mastery, who did well last season as did Nancy Rose, who won on soft going at Ballinrobe a year ago and ended the campaign with two seconds.
