LIGHTHOUSE ROSE won this a year ago by 13 lengths and again won easily on a return visit last month where she was eased right down. She'll need to overcome a 10lb rise to gain her third track success but looks capable of doing so. Finding Joy is also a course and distance winner and though her last victory was two years ago she returned to form in a big field at Killarney last month. Mullaghmore Wave sluiced up at Ballinrobe where she was eased down so a 10lb rise is unlikely to prevent another big run. Rain In Spain followed a convincing victory at Cork with another good run at Ballinrobe so is another with a chance in a tight handicap.
