Nanamour battled on strongly to beat Creative Talent at Tramore and the runner-up is engaged in the previous race here. Ridestan returned to action after a break to run well at Galway three weeks ago and will be ready for this while Flannery showed real battling qualities to hold off Along The Shore at Gowran and the longer trip should be in his favour. GREANTA has done well since stepping up to this trip, scoring here last month and running well behind the in-form Sr Cartage at Listowel - she looks capable of better and is awarded the vote. The very lightly-raced Lifting Me Higher was well supported to lose her maiden tag at Wexford and, though unable to land the spoils, ran on strongly over slightly shorter and should reach the frame here.
