This is an apprentice race but most of the riders are very experienced including Gary Phillips, who won the race last year on Lily's Prince. His mount has more to do this time while the assessor looks to have got to Three Bells, though at least he's back to his best trip. Burren View Lady failed by just a head to hold off Hatton Cross in a huge field at Naas and may turn the tables on 3lb better terms while Acroleina had been running well before scoring comfortably on the sand at Laytown. Kiss The Stars has only won once in 25 starts but nearly doubled her tally at Laytown and should get involved, though TIME FOR ART is given the nod in a very tough race to call as she looked progressive when landing a Listowel maiden and doesn't look harshly treated for her handicap debut.
