Henry De Bromhead won this last year and STELLAR NOTION looked a nice prospect at Listowel where he always travelled well. He's up 7lb and this is tougher but he's lightly raced and has the scope to do better. Hurricane Ben has gone from hunter chases to landing a Ballinrobe handicap in very good style but a 14lb rise makes this a much more difficult task. Mr Fiftyone has really found his form having completed a double in good style on this sort of ground. However, he was 10l behind Bright New Dawn at Punchestown in April and the latter is better off at the weights. Lilly The Lioness followed her victory at Wexford with another on the Flat at Tipperary so she enters the fray in top form and on a low enough weight to make her presence felt.
