Pat's Pearl has been narrowly beaten in her last two starts including over this track and trip last month when just failing to concede 9lb to Bell Of The Ball. She's up 3lb but should take care of Shek O Lad, a winner here in October but out again quickly after a moderate effort at Roscommon on Tuesday. OMEGA SPRINGS (NAP) is 1-23 which isn't much of a strike-rate but he's been staying on strongly over the minimum in his last two starts and as he's only 4lb higher than his lone success is taken to double his winning tally. Canova is yet to win in 28 career starts but has gone well here in the past and could snatch a place.
