A competitive maiden in which LUGHNASA is taken to gain compensation for her fall at Clonmel. She wouldn't have beaten Sarabad on that occasion and was looking weary when coming down two out but looks to have a race like this in her. Dual point-to-point winner Golden Plan stays further than this as he showed when a fine third over 2m4f at Navan last time and he'll appreciate the heavy ground while Notimetoserve will also have no stamina issues though he's been absent since Galway in September. War Correspondent has run his best races over much further but Kick Start can go well on his hurdling bow having run very well behind the high-class Annie Power in a Galway bumper last August.
