Fleurys Fort scored over a much longer trip on fast ground here last month before finishing tailed off at Limerick. POPBORU (NAP) is improving at a rate of knots and followed a fine run over this trip at Gowran with another over further at Fairyhouse where she only gave best from the last. She can go one better though Lake Field would have an obvious chance of losing his maiden tag if in the same kind of form as when runner-up at Clonmel in February. Micras has only had two starts for new connections since arriving from the UK and she caught the eye at Clonmel last month. Ruby Walsh is an eye-catching booking and the four-year-old could provide the main threat.
