FOR PLEASURE, a winner over this track and trip on heavy going in April, showed his versatility when scoring over 1m4f on fast ground at Leopardstown last week and though up another 6lb can continue his rich vein of form. Swiss Cottage hasn't won yet but it shouldn't be long judging by his return to action at Leopardstown where he was staying on over a mile. Aiseolas has raced four times on very testing ground this season, winning easily at Gowran last month, and would have to be a threat if acting in these conditions. High Street Lady won a Dundalk maiden over this trip in March then found a mile too short at Killarney so she's respected as is Overcoming, who makes his handicap debut on what could be a lenient mark. The King won a Gowran maiden on heavy ground in September and reappeared in the Derrinstown won by Hazapour where he never got into contention.
