Plenty are considered and Craic Of Dawn makes a quick reappearance and his handicap debut having been well beaten in a maiden at Tipperary earlier in the week. Fellow three-year-old, DARK NOTE, is a similar type and back over this shorter trip having faded in the closing stages at Sligo on his handicap bow, Joseph O'brien's colt gets the nod. Rosie Rock is definitely one to take notice of if anywhere near the level of her penultimate run when landing a large-field handicap here under today's 10lb claimer while Ice Cold In Alex, Zahee and Atlas are others of interest in a wide-open contest.
