Too Scoops was fancied in the opening race yesterday but couldn't cope with Gold Ability and this looks tougher. LETHERBELUCKY had over four lengths in hand over Audrelles Lad at Roscommon and, with the weights remaining the same after the latter's subsequent victory at Ballinrobe, Willie Mullins' mare should come out on top again and take this. Tugboat is likely to be a major threat judged on his impressive victory at Clonmel while there must have been something amiss with Whispering Hills when tailed off at Tipperary as he'd looked impressive on his previous two starts. Protaras had looked promising when beating Simon Grey at Navan but ran poorly at Limerick in April and has been given a break.
