Strange Notions scored on heavy going at Ballinrobe in May but only got as far as the first on her comeback at Cork three weeks ago so could just need this. Schone Aussicht won here in the summer and is better than she showed at Punchestown last time while Deilginis won three times over fences last year, though hasn't run since New Year's Eve. CUTE CHERRY is progressing nicely and took advantage of heavy conditions at Clonmel so she's taken to follow up with Jordan Gainford's claim offsetting her 7lb rise. Exit To The West was only beaten just over a length by the prolific Glenquin Castle at Punchestown though that was in a 3m handicap chase. Capture The Action keeps going up in the weights without winning.
