Jim Bolger is going for this in a big way with three entries. Kevin Manning has chosen Craic Agus Spraoi and she should do best of the trio having shown up well for a long way on her Tipperary debut. Dermot Weld took the race a year ago and will be expecting a big run from Afternoon Sunlight, who made a bright start at the Curragh behind the highly regarded pair Terrific and Gortea with Red Raven also catching the eye in fourth. John Oxx could do with a nice winner and My Titania, a daughter of Sea The Stars, made a satisfactory debut over 6f here behind Vallado and will certainly improve for the experience. SHELL HOUSE makes a quick reappearance after a very encouraging start behind her highly-regarded stablemate Dazzling at the Curragh on Sunday. She'll have come on a bundle for the experience and can take what should prove an informative contest.
