Lake Louise is 3lb out of the handicap and was raised 6lb for her latest success so this is tougher, especially as her victories have come on very heavy ground. One True Love is no stable star judged on her three runs to date so this can go to HARLEY'S HARLEY. Arthur Moore's charge has won twice over today's trip on soft ground and made all for a convincing victory over today's rival Newberry Hill over the C&D last time. Ballyorban can't get his head in front but was finishing so strongly over 6f at Naas last time that he must be a threat to all if repeating that effort.
