Guiri won this last year and though not in the same kind of form is likely to have been primed for another crack. LIMERICK LACE gets the nod on her handicap debut having won a bumper and scored over hurdles in two visits here. Dads Lad has competed in two major handicaps since completing a double in the autumn while Life In The Park made all for an impressive maiden hurdle success at Tramore. Midnight It Is was also impressive in a Limerick maiden while Francois has been narrowly beaten in two recent handicaps. Outback Flyer makes her handicap debut from a lowly mark after a convincing Wexford maiden success while David Pipe sends the lightly-raced and improving Thanksforthehelp from the UK.
