Highly Approved had been threatening to win for some time and arrives with a penalty for his narrow victory at Bellewstown last week. He has a much higher rating than this on the all-weather so is likely to take some beating. FESTINA PLENTE (NAP) ran at the same meeting and only succumbed to Jupiter Road in the dying strides. She's on the same mark here and can go one better though Goodnite Irina, who beat Highly Approved at Leopardstown earlier when in receipt of 2lb, has to be on the shortlist on tonight's terms. Reeking Havoc ran her best race to date at Gowran last time and any rain would aid her cause while Jessica Harrington's horses are running so well that it wouldn't be a shock to see dual Dundalk winner Calling Time bounce back after a break.
