Freescape is 6-16 around here and, after two poor runs on Turf, ran very well in a Listed race here two weeks ago. Aurora Princess, five times a winner on Turf, has only run once here but has slipped to a nice mark despite being 2lb out of the handicap. Star Harbour had been running well in the UK before returning to Bellewstown and getting up close home over this trip on heavy ground. Cozone arrives in winning form having beaten a subsequent winner in a Listowel handicap hurdle. He's well handicapped though could find this on the short side. Martinstown, who made a winning debut at Cork in May last year, hasn't shown much in two subsequent starts though he's the only one here with scope. BURREN SONG (NAP) initiated a hat-trick when scoring over 1m2f here in March and ran a fine race when placed in a premier handicap at Leopardstown last time so looks the one to beat.
