A moderate handicap with Colin Keane reunited with Rockview Empress, whom he scored on at Navan last month. John McConnell's filly didn't run as well under a penalty five days later but her rider could make the difference here.

That could be good enough though Slieve Bearnagh has found 1m2f taxing his stamina the last twice and this is his trip and ground. John Feane's French recruit Pachmena made a very bright start for the yard on testing ground at Limerick before finding quicker going against her at Fairyhouse.
