Lady Rosebud has won four times around here and though out of form she's 5lb lower than her latest victory in March. Lady Boomerang has never run here but is just 3lb higher than her victory at Killarney in August and ran well from this mark at Naas last time. Reverberation has never won but has been in good form here and on Turf though has a few pounds to find with BITTERSWEET (NAP). He's 4lb better off with the latter on their run here at the beginning of the month but has over 2l to find and that may prove beyond him as the winner looked to have something in hand. Finvarra looked a certain future winner when a close second in a big field at Cork in August but didn't run as well on his next start at Gowran. Vocal Relation was staying on over 7f here last time and may prove best of the remainder.
