Kirk Session has shown nothing to date but is still likely to attract support given his connections. Winning point-to-pointer Brega Queen has been making steady progress over hurdles and made a winning handicap debut at Downpatrick though she appeared to need every yard of the 2m6f on that occasion. Ongenstown Lad scrambled home in a novice event at Ffos Las and will find this much tougher while Fairly Definite has been looking one-paced and is probably a few pounds high in the weights. LEA LADY was having only her second start of the year when a very close third behind Resolute Bay at Ballinrobe and as this is her best trip and ground she can take this. Regal Ambition ran by far his best race for a long time over the C&D last month and is another to keep an eye on.
