Target Acquired might just be in the handicapper's grip after failing to complete a hat-trick at Roscommon but Brown Butterfly is just 1lb higher than her latest success in May and has the promising Gary Halpin on board. INDIAN ICON is progressing nicely and though his only success was over 7f he's run well over further including when attempting to concede weight to Lucky Kitten at Galway. He can progress further and take this though Maudlin Magdalen has also suddenly found her form though a 12lb rise for her victory at Bellewstown looks harsh. Cairdiuil stayed on strongly over 7f at Galway so this trip will be more to his liking.
