No Trouble won easily here last month and carried a 6lb penalty to victory at Bellewstown but another 9lb rise makes this much more difficult. Lady De Vesci has won four times around here and has been going quite well over timber without winning but CLEW BAY looks the one to beat. She's been improving fast and followed a victory over 1m2f here with another good run over that trip and can race from the same mark. Fryerns, a course and distance winner last November, bounced back to form here earlier this month when chasing home Getaway Queen with the remainder trailing so she can get into the frame while Lily Of The Glen was well supported at Down Royal in July so must have been expected to do better and has changed stables.
