Eighteen Summers arrives here with a penalty after beating Reckless Lad easily at Cork on Tuesday. Bishan Bedi was bought to give Donnacha and Ana O'Brien some experience and has done the job perfectly. He looked progressive when last seen at Dundalk in March and is very much respected. Kings Ryker returned to winning ways at Naas but appeared to enjoy the fast going while Katimavik has won twice, both times on good to firm ground. ROMIAC went to Galway for a handicap with only an outside chance and wasn't well drawn. However, he could hardly have been more impressive and though the assessor has reacted with a 14lb rise, another win is on the cards. Mufrad has only had five starts and there should be plenty of improvement in him.
