April's Moon won a handicap at Killarney in good style but has plenty to find with Lunar Display on these terms. Joseph O’Brien’s mare placed in a Listed company at Limerick recently having earlier finished behind runner-up Say Goodbye at Gowran but the latter’s stablemate QUEENS BROOK makes most appeal. Gordon Elliott’s charge returns from an absence having finished third behind Concertista, now rated 152, in a Grade 2 at Fairyhouse when last in action and she should find this easier. The remaining trio will do well to figure on these terms.
