That's Lifebuoy gained his only victory to date on this track in April though that was over 2m6f. Powerful Out's only success to date came in a bumper and she was beaten 15l into second at Thurles but Dympnas Well has won three times since June though is 11lb higher than when scoring over 2m4f on heavy going at Wexford. ELITE DES MOTTES went up 7lb for scoring at Killarney and didn't get going until too late at Wexford so she can bounce back to winning form. Kilbeggan novice winner Wicklow Flyer is probably better than she showed at Punchestown and is one to note.
