ISHEBAYORGREY (NAP) was in good form at Dundalk over the winter and returned after a break to run very well in a better race than this at Leopadstown last month. He's won off higher marks so looks well enough handicapped to regain the winning thread. Have A Nice Day was behind in that latter race and looks held but Snowstar was in excellent form on fast going last summer and will have come on a bundle for her reappearance at Navan. Knowing You has only had five starts, all on heavy ground, and completed a double last summer though she's looked a few pounds high in her runs this campaign. The former UK-based That Is The Spirit hasn't shown much in two starts for new connections but is steadily dropping to a winnable mark.
