Emeric finished last in a bumper a year ago but has completed a recent double at Dundalk and Danny Gilligan's claim reduces his penalty. Laelaps also carries extra for a victory on the Flat here but pulled much too hard on his hurdling bow at Naas in February. Star Harbour has also won twice on the level and has shown ability over timber though ran poorly at Fairyhouse last time. Arnacoeur led for a long way before weakening from the last at Killarney while In For The Night made a promising debut over the track and trip last month. LUCID DREAMS made his debut in a Fakenham maiden in March where he finished runner-up with the remainder beaten a long way. He then ran in a bumper on this track and could be the one to beat. Men Of Dreams didn't show much on the Flat but looks a much better hurdler judging by a promising debut at Kilbeggan.
