This won't take much winning and it might pay to side with newcomer SONAS. Henry De Bromhead's Walk In The Park filly is notably a half-sister to useful hurdler Skyace and in a race of this nature might only need to possess even an ounce of that ability to make a winning start. Tell The Boys bolted up in a bumper at Listowel back in May and is interesting now sent over flights, and so is Cork third Felicity Smoak, though she would probably need to improve upon her current rating of 99.

Marian Avenue was denied a first taste of success by the stewards having hampered a number of his rivals approaching two from home at Limerick and that wait might go on a bit longer yet, because OCEAN MURPHY looks the one to beat in receipt of 5lb. Philip Rothwell's four-year-old was a bloodless winner over C&D last month and should still be capable of much better despite a 6lb rise in the handicap. Morell River had been in good form prior to a Downpatrick no-show and is no back number returned to this venue.

This can go to the Willie Mullins-trained NADIA'S BOY, who showed up well for a long way on his chasing bow over 2m here in June. The son of Getaway has much less to prove than most of these and natural improvement ought to see him go one place better. Scalpnagoon has started to become a little frustrating but looks the main danger nonetheless, whilst West Away heads the remainder.

LEAVE IN SECRET produced an improved display when making the frame at Galway on his most recent start and goes off the same mark. Provided the seven-year-old is in similar form, he could be the one to beat. Freddie Robdal was well held in fourth at Downpatrick on his return from a break, but he is now 1lb lower and needs considering. Centreofattention returns to handicap company and completes the shortlist.

Rue Taylor beat Teenage Kiss by a neck over 2m7f at this track in June and can have a say if confirming that form. However, ROCKONLIAM is two from two so far this year and made a strong impression when scoring by over four lengths on his chasing bow at this venue last time. An opening mark of 118 over fences might prove to be lenient and he looks the one to be on.

LADY DOYANNE is proving expensive to follow finishing third and second on her two starts over fences, but she is getting better as she gains experience, and trainer Henry De Bromhead has won two of the last five runnings of this contest. Bynx won this last year for Martin Hassett but is racing off 5lb higher now, though he did win on the Flat at Tramore last month. He has to be considered, while Ballybrittas was ahead of the selection when winning here but is 8lb worse off and he may have to settle for third.

Alicious represents the powerful Willie Mullins stable and although unraced, the daughter of Pastorious is related to plenty of winners and any market support may be informative. HONEY BUCK'S made a promising start to her career when a length and a quarter second to Hilly Filly at Cork and nominal improvement here would make her hard to beat under John Gleeson, assuming none of the unraced horses are out of the ordinary. La Muleta is an interesting recruit after finishing second in a Necarne pont-to-point and is another to at least consider.
