Cappacurry Zak, who was engaged in the 12.55 here yesterday, won this back in 2016, one of four victories around here though he's better over fences these days. He finished fifth here earlier this month when Young Dev was beaten half-a-length into second, Classic Concorde was 2 lengths back in third and Fenno's Storm, who had gone up 12lb for a previous course and distance victory, was close up in fourth. A Girl Like Me landed a 2m5f Galway Handicap in October then made a bold bid when narrowly beaten over slightly further at Thurles. She's on the upgrade but it's KEEP THE PEACE who catches the eye. She was well behind Fenno's Storm here last month but improved dramatically to score at Fairyhouse and with her rider's claim a major bonus she can go in again. Miss Oriental was engaged in the 2.35 here yesterday.
