Return Spring made a very promising debut on good ground at Punchestown and didn't appear to handle soft going when strongly fancied at Clonmel. He will have his conditions here and should be in the shake-up but DUBH GO LEIR has to be the selection. She attracted strong support on her debut on quick ground at Wexford and looked a likely winner a couple of furlongs out but the lack of a run took its toll and she couldn't find the extra. That will have brought her on and Patrick Mullins is on board again. Onedin Line showed nothing in two starts between the flags but did better on his bumper debut at Uttoxeter and should improve further but one of the most interesting entries is Afatcat, whose dam has produced ten winners including the Yorkshire Oaks winner Catchascatchcan.
