DONEGAL TUESDAY went up a massive 11lb for her easy victory at Gowran and had to fight hard for her follow-up success here a few days later. She's up another 5lb here but her main rivals are maidens so she's taken to complete a hat-trick. Freeway Space makes her handicap debut after eight starts in maidens but has been very unlucky not to have won by now. She was well in front when falling three out at Thurles last time so connections will be looking for compensation. Magic Of Light is another having her first start in a handicap and she was beaten a long way when tackling a Grade 3 novices' event here last month, though her earlier run at Thurles would put her in the picture. Swift gained a surprise victory at Navan in January but went up 8lb and hasn't produced the same kind of form subsequently.
