Dha Leath won three out of four in the spring and the recent rain has arrived just in time for her as there's been plenty of give for her last two victories. Merroir returned from a long break to score readily at Ballinrobe but SHARK BAY will take some beating. The Ballydoyle colt only does enough and will have found 1m1f short enough at Gowran but he battled on to concede 7lb to the smart Jungle Cove and can complete a hat-trick. Baby Zeus ran well in the race last year while Dame Rapide found yielding ground against her on her hat-trick bid at the Curragh so wouldn't want more rain but Sionnach Eile did everything right at Ballinrobe though a 12lb rise looks tough. One Cool Poet was engaged in the 3.20 here yesterday.
