Having landed a Limerick handicap on good going, Dark Design couldn't handle heavy ground when favourite at Gowran and can do better. Sweet Justice also ran poorly in that latter race but has been in better form on quicker ground while Angel's Trumpet showed much improved form in testing conditions at Gowran earlier this month, as did Power Of Lazarus when runner-up at Killarney. Stellify has also improved since meeting softer going but there's no denying the claims of ROCKVIEW EMPRESS (NAP). John McConnell's filly comes here with a 6lb penalty for last week's Navan victory but won with such authority that a quick double looks on the cards.
