EASTERN LEGEND is on the upgrade and has only been raised 3lb for his latest success at Listowel last week so can go in again. Luminous Light has been in winning form over hurdles and isn't badly treated nor is Out On Friday, three times a winner this summer and only up 4lb for his recent victory at Tramore. The latter was conceding 4lb to No Hassle when beating her a head at Fairyhouse and has a big weight pull due to the runner-up having won twice subsequently. Rodney Bay is better known as a hurdler but was beaten less than a length over this trip at Galway. Fairyhouse maiden winner Rapparee Champ makes his handicap debut.
