Drombeg Duke won so easily at Limerick that the assessor had little option but to raise him 14lb which makes this much more difficult. Prince Of Peace has yet to win but ran a fine race at the Curragh last time while Rock Etoile's second to Visualisation on soft ground at Gowran in April puts him in the picture. Plum Perfect went up 11lb for scoring on soft at Galway and didn't quite get the run of the race at Naas next time. The maiden Plunkett should be winning soon from this sort of mark but this can go to SUMMER'S DREAM, back on exactly the same mark as when successful at Killarney in July.
