This looks a tough one for punters to unravel but Misty Weather should give us a good run after almost defying a near three-year absence at Cork last month. The lightly-raced Little Mitch is progressing well and easy landed a Down Royal maiden last time while Kris Kindle is in cracking form and landed a strong Ballinrobe handicap last month. The Living Beauty landed a gamble in a Cork maiden in April though the form hasn't worked out but Hurry Kitty has a chance as things haven't gone her way since she scored at Wexford. FEEL THE AIR's close second to Don Vicenzo at Downpatrick gives her an obvious chance and she's such a consistent performer at this level that she's given the nod.
