An 8lbs rise for his recent Gowran success just gets Great Realief into this very moderate handicap and Patrick Martin's youngster looks certain to get competitive. Another of the younger brigade, Elusive Art, showed much improved form on her return to action at Dundalk and should make further progress while One Of Three lost his maiden tag in good style in a similar race at Cork and is on the short-list. MRS BATT gained a surprise victory over a mile at Naas in April and led for a long way when third to Lady Montague over today's trip there last time. If ridden with a little more restraint this time she can make her pace count against this opposition.
