Lucky Spring has something to find but none of the remainder are out of this. Lady Imola hasn't had much experience and though her only victory came on fast ground she's performed well on this type of going and should go well with Ross Coakley's claim a major bonus. Action Master is better known as a chaser these days but reverted to the Flat with a fine run behind Blue Cannon at Down Royal while another jumper, On The Way out, returned after a long break to run very well on the level at Listowel last month and looks well handicapped though he was 6l behind MOVEABLE ASSET, who won a maiden hurdle on heavy ground at Tramore in August previously. He's the type his trainer does so well with and is taken to concede weight all round.
