Fiosrach, a dual winner on the Flat for Jim Bolger, has shown nothing so far over hurdles but is probably capable of better. Rufino has shown the occasional glimpse of ability but would do better with some rain while Skelligs Rock should have learnt from a sketchy round of jumping at Cork. MYSTIC PRINCESS showed that there was a race to be won with her when runner-up at Downpatrick but she only got as far as the first on a return visit. She gets plenty of allowances and Luke Dempsey's claim means she arrives here on a feather weight.
