Fort Carson finished runner-up at Tramore last month and has since been beaten a head by Hard Bought at Thurles and deserves a change of fortune though the lightly-raced Lake Field wasn't far behind and can get closer. MISTY LADY won this a year ago and though unsuccessful since she's been running well enough to get the vote to follow up. Winning point-to-pointer Rebel Cry has yet to win under Rules but produced his best effort to date when runner-up over this trip at Tramore, so should be scoring soon. Gothen Niece has yet to win in 14 starts over timber and looks very one-paced. If Thepartysover gets a run from his reserve spot he could be one to keep an eye on in the betting.
