Roley was winning for the first time under Rules at Roscommon earlier this month but has been raised 11lb for his troubles and may struggle to follow up here. Chrisdonlady probably isn't badly treated in her first handicap but hasn't raced since landing a hunter chaser at Listowel in June and just as interesting is Clan Music, runner-up at Killarney last month but 4lb higher today. Kenah Hill finished ahead of Adrianeo and Best Result at Tramore earlier this month and has place claims but there could be more to come from STONESINMYPOCKET. Only a five-year-old, Christy Roche's gelding has needed both runs since returning from a break but showed up well for a long way at Roscommon at the start of the month and can reverse earlier Killarney running with Clan Music and Klassy now.
