Marias Dream has won five times in her career but would be scoring from her highest ever mark if taking this and may just be in the grip of the handicapper. CELTIC DANE, who has generally competed at a higher level than this, has slipped to an interesting mark and made a promising return when third to Worldly Wise at Tipperary. Toraidhe, who finished runner-up, had the benefit of a previous run and may not be capable of confirming the form. Banna Boirche has been in cracking form at Dundalk but has never shown the same level on turf and is 22lbs higher than when runner-up at Killarney in July.
