NEIGHBOURLY hadn't shown much before a very convincing success at Kilbeggan on Friday and it's no surprise to see her reappearing under a penalty as she'll go up more than the 6lb. In that kind of form she'll take some beating though this is a tougher race. Whisky Galore can't get his head in front and is still a maiden after 28 career starts while For Dylan is also taking a long time to lose his maiden tag. Littleton Lass battled really hard to score at Tramore and must enter the reckoning but Banna Beach doesn't win often enough and may be better over fences these days. Brabazon showed that his turn isn't far off with a very good effort over the C&D last time and looks a threat as he hasn't had much experience while Grand Cru is also improving and looks capable of winning soon judged on his latest effort at Wexford.
