Trees Valley completed a double at Tramore within two days last month but couldn't quite handle a 10lb rise at Ballinrobe. Saol Iontach ran respectably at Ballinrobe but had earlier been put in her place by BEAT OF THE SEA (NAP) at Kilbeggan. The latter had a run on the Flat later and Ryan Treacy's claim could give her the advantage as Gotthenod's much-improved form when scoring at Wexford was put down to soft ground and a slow pace, which she's unlikely to get here. Estijmaam ran her best race to date in a Kilbeggan maiden though has plenty of weight for her handicap debut.
