A very tricky three-year-old handicap but LAKE LOUISE, twice a winner on heavy going over this trip in October, should have come on for her reappearance here and is handed the vote. Miller Beach had shown some potential last year and should be winning soon judged on his comeback behind Maude Adams at the Curragh. Maudlin Magdalen wasn't far behind the selection at Navan in October and ran well on her reappearance at Dundalk so she has to go on the short-list along with Janna's Jingle, who is the type to do better in her second season.
