Way To My Heart was making her handicap debut when a close third on testing ground at Tipperary and she has more to offer as does Runmhar, who showed up well in a Wexford maiden last month. Secret Splendour was a 25/1 chance when just caught by The Major General in a maiden at the Curragh and the quicker ground should enable her to last out longer though she has a big weight to carry. Maronella steps up in trip after staying on over a mile at Gowran while Brosnan has dropped to a fair mark and ran her best race for some time at Navan on Saturday. MADEMOISELLE PENNY ran well on her reappearance at Dundalk and made it count when sent to Clonmel where she bounced off the fast ground. She's 4lb higher in this very trappy contest but looks to have as good a chance as any.
