It was good ground at Galway when Good Shot Noreen won over 7f there in July and the handicapper has seen fit to raise her 14lb, while this is also a lot tougher than the race Cheval Rouge won at Roscommon last week. Kate Greenaway has claims judged on her recent win at Leopardstown if she handles the testing ground and Mamma Rosa is not without a chance, but the vote goes to BE MY STORM. She's shown her best over longer trips so far but that's not a problem in today's heavy going and Dermot Weld's filly looks on a winning mark after a recent second at Clonmel.
