Recent rain will help BUILDING BRIDGES and the Navan maiden winner can recoup Limerick losses with the cheekpieces dispensed with here. Ideal Pal is on a roll and Monty's Miracle and Halimi are other recent winners but A Wave Of The Sea couldn’t cope with a 6lb rise in the Ulster Derby when on a hat-trick so stablemate Millswyn, tried in blinkers, is preferred. Dundory and Switch Around are less exposed than most and should be monitored for any market support.
