Verdict
Gerard Keane brings out AURORA'S DREAM quickly after her victory at Downpatrick earlier this month and a 5lb rise is unlikely to prevent another big run so she is taken to follow up. Joy Neville finished runner-up over this trip at Killarney and is only 3lb higher while the four-year-old Darkest Flyer ran his best race to date at Galway last month. Canny Tom was well supported at Wexford but didn't last out the three miles so this should be more to his liking and Authorative has won a handicap over the trip at Gowran.
