Fairyhouse third Miss Temple looks easily the best of the three-year-olds in this and should be thereabouts. Count Of Carabass was only beaten a short-head in this 12 months ago but is 9lb higher and is making his seasonal return. Maria Montez is also returning from a break and having her first run for Timothy Doyle having won at Lingfield last year for Barry Hills. Surprise Cork winner FUNNY HOW couldn't cope with the step in class at Leopardstown next time but is back in the right grade here. Sporting headgear, she can get the better of Monday's penalised Sligo winner Lake George. Apache Gold may be best of the rest.
