It's no surprise that the handicapper raised Isabellareine 9lbs after her victory over Tipper Road at Kilbeggan as she won comfortably. She should go well despite the extra weight and it will be a surprise if the runner-up can reverse the form. Kalellshan was chasing when last seen in September and may need this while Spilt Ear was a big disappointment at Wexford after beating Riverscape at Ballinrobe. THEPARTYSOVER is beginning to look useful and produced his best effort to date when beating Ballochroy at Limerick. He's up 9lbs here but is progressing nicely and looks capable of better.
