THREE BELLS isn't the most consistent of performers but had dropped to a fair mark when scoring at Naas on Wednesday and a 5lb penalty doesn't look enough to prevent a quick double. Intense Stylist hasn't won yet but has gone close on several occasions and both track and ground will be in her favour. Laburnum Park was having only her third start when runner-up to Markhan at Listowel last month and the winner has scored again so he has to be on the shortlist along with Lily's Prince, who bounced back to form from this mark at Tipperary a couple of weeks ago. Chips Are Down likes plenty of give in the ground so any further rain would definitely enhance his claims.
