Ar Saoirse showed nothing maidens but has done much better in nurseries and should find a race soon. Bracebridge Hall has performed reasonably well in two 6f maidens though could find this a bit sharp. He's held by NOBLE KINGSWAY on latest running last month and the latter, who was making his debut, can take this as that run is certain to have brought him on. It's All A Joke ran very well on heavy going at Navan and started favourite here three weeks ago but couldn't quite go the pace and finished a close third. Spirit Power started off well on this track in the spring but disappointed later and has had a long break.
