Storm Ranger arrives with a penalty for last week's Tipperary victory which he won in convincing style. He'd have to be considered on that form, though it was his maiden success on his 15th start. No Way Jack ran well when runner-up at Roscommon though a strike-rate of 1-40 tempers enthusiasm but Blue Book is a progressive three-year-old who wouldn't need to improve much from her close third at Cork to get involved. Nicaragua was an easy winner over 1m4f here last summer and arrives in winning form having scored over hurdles at Clonmel in May. But she may just find this on the short side and was a long way behind KANDAHARI over the track and trip in September. John McConnell's filly has a long absence to overcome but if ready after her break could go well at fair odds.
