Have A Nice Day has won nine races including this a year ago when he battled on well to see off the challenge of An Saighdiur, who has enough of a pull in the weights to reverse the form. FOUNTAIN looked very progressive when scoring over this trip at Fairyhouse but never got competitive at Limerick next time. That wasn't his form and he's taken to bounce back though Severus looks a threat. Des Donovan's charge is in fine form at present and very nearly overcame an 8lb rise for his Limerick victory when beaten a neck here. Plough Boy was only just behind in that latter event and the eight-times winner is looking quite well handicapped nowadays.
