Richard Brabazon had a winner at Cork on Monday and Path Of Silver made such a promising handicap debut at Killarney that she'll be supported to go one better from the same mark. Park Row has gone up 6lb for his victory at Dundalk but battled on strongly and another big effort is anticipated. The veteran Lightening Stricks was only just touched off by Fairy Foxglove at Naas though the winner has been well beaten subsequently and he was earlier behind KEUKENHOF at Dundalk. The latter was showing his first real sign of form that day and is up 8lb but he looked to have something in hand and the longer trip shouldn't prove a problem. Mcguigan hasn't won in 15 starts but is generally consistent and has dropped just enough in the ratings to get into this handicap.
