The four-year-old Fahamore has been well supported on his last two starts but failed to deliver and makes his handicap debut here. Lea Lady has only won once in 23 starts over timber but her most recent runs have been on faster ground than she would have enjoyed and should go well here. The lightly-raced ROCKSHANDY was in fine form earlier this year and will have needed his recent run at Wexford. He looks the type to go on to better things and can take this despite a big weight. Bonifacio didn't handle the testing conditions at Punchestown last time and the ground will be just as heavy here.
