Lough Roe Lady came good on her handicap debut at Thurles and should be a factor here, despite a 7lb higher mark. Missgiloney has had a bit of a break and may return refreshed but What An Flyer will probably need this and Gudnis Gracious Me and Ocean Bright both need to improve on recent form to get involved. MINI VIC was taking on much stronger opposition over hurdles in the spring and, after three runs over fences, she is back over the smaller obstacles on a decent mark. Elizabeth Doyle's eight-year-old may be the one to beat ahead of Limerick second Sherika.
