It was soft ground when Sounds Of Thunder finished third at Ballinrobe last time and she hasn't won since a novice event back in 2011. DAY DAY (NAP) makes more appeal on her placed effort at Cork last time as the winner Phil The Flyer went on to land a hat-trick. She gets the nod given Ballinrobe winner Some Pride has finished tailed off in a couple of subsequent starts, though Fighting Days looks a threat on his earlier second at Down Royal. Joy Neville is preferred of the remainder as she made the frame at Killarney under Ruby Walsh in July and the latter is back on board for the first time since.
