Ronald Pump has fallen from grace since his heyday when rated 157 after beaten half-a-length by Honeysuckle in the 2020 Hatton's Grace but is on his lowest mark since the previous year. Three-times point-to-point winner Desert Heather made an impressive handicap debut over the course and distance but has gone up 14lb as a consequence. Nine Graces is up 12lb for completing a double at Ballinrobe having earlier beaten LAW ELLA (NAP) just under three lengths at Punchestown. However, the latter, who has subsequently won at Downpatrick, will be 9lb better off and looks the one to beat. Her stablemate, Doncaster winner Sweet Will, wasn't at his best at Punchestown but Level Neverending has been running well in tough handicaps and has won around here.
