Crystal Morning was in tremendous form before a disappointing run at Leopardstown and has been given a break. Boom To Bust was a very easy maiden winner at Bellewstown but hasn't been done any favours in the handicap and though Deire Na Sli continues to run really well she's probably a couple of pounds high in the weights and is just held by Bold Thady Quill on their run at Cork in June. Maundy Money last won a race at Listowel a year ago from 13lb higher and has slipped to a very fair mark though he was behind TOUFAN EXPRESS at Listowel last month and the veteran gets the nod here as he ran another fine race when staying on over 6f at the Curragh last week. Independent Girl and the in-form Jills Ballet are others to consider in a wide-open event.
