Connections are obviously trying to strike while the iron is hot with ISABELLAREINE. Having won at Galway and Tramore on the level, the mare scored over timber at Kilbeggan on Friday and she's already proven herself on this surface. Jigalo is another useful dual-purpose performer who wouldn't be without a chance at the weights while it will be interesting to see how Keelaghan, who won over fences last month, gets on back on the level. Inis Ceithleann has been in decent form lately and is another that catches the eye with Johnny Murtagh in the saddle.
