R'evelyn Pleasure had dropped to a fair mark when placed at Thurles and hasn't been raised. Broomfields Jeremy landed a Kilbeggan maiden but made mistakes on a return visit and makes his handicap debut. Above The City has yet to win over hurdles but looks well enough treated to make his presence felt as does Breezy Ball. The latter hasn't proved she stays this far though wasn't stopping over 2m at Thurles last time but the vote goes to BURLESQUE QUEEN (NAP). Liz Doyle's mare was headed on the line in this a year ago and looks as though she's been aimed at going one better after returning with a fair run at Cork a fortnight ago. The Great White showed a bit of potential in the summer and was racing over a trip too short when staying on strongly over the minimum at Fairyhouse.
