Krujers Girl hadn't run since last summer before making her debut for new connections at Kilbeggan and getting the race in the stewards room. She returned to winning ways with an impressive success over 2m7f at Downpatrick and a 9lb rise is unlikely to prevent another big run. CARNET DE STAGE was having his 31st start when losing his maiden tag at Killarney, battling on to repel the late thrust of Filon D'Oudairies. Now that he's got his head in front he's taken to complete a double and holds Temptationinmilan on that run. Eric McNamara has won this twice in recent years so don't rule out Cahirdown Boy, though some rain would aid his cause, while stablemate Meehall made all for a comfortable victory over Zalika at Killarney.
