Nivek's Dream is a fast ground specialist and it won't have helped that he fell on his chasing debut last month. Kirbybroquelantern is probably still a few pounds high in the weights and Rookery Rebel rarely performs over hurdles these days. Knockieren had dropped to a very lowly mark when runner-up at Ballinrobe and was only 2lb higher for her comfortable success at Listowel. She's gone up 9lb for that but should still be competitive though BEIR BUA looks the one to be on. Jessica Harrington's five-year-old had shown some promise in bumpers and maidens before a very impressive victory over the consistent Leah Claire at Listowel and even a 10lb rise shouldn't halt his progress.
