Jim Bolger likes to run horses under a penalty and though DREAM OF WORDS (NAP) only got up by a neck at Roscommon on Monday she found the 7f on the short side and had a bit in hand. She can complete a quick double though Bucky Larson enters the fray with a hard-fought victory over the course and distance and makes his handicap debut.

Rapture's Delight looks best of Joseph O'Brien's pair having come with a late burst to land a 7f Gowran maiden last month as stable companion Palace Guard has never run on ground this quick.
