Crown Of Thorns hasn't had much experience but was in fine form on good ground in the spring and would have to be considered if ready after a break. Epsilon Indi won a 2m2f Limerick handicap a fortnight ago then didn't jump as well when tacking 2m4f at Killarney a few days later. Cadawill alternates between hurdles and fences and scored over timber at Tipperary, when Something Sweet was 10l behind, before a fine run over the bigger obstacles at Limerick. Lady Of The Sea has yet to win but produced her best run to date over 2m3f at Downpatrick and would have a chance if staying this trip. RANDALL'S AOIBHINN made a very encouraging handicap debut over 3m1f at Kilbeggan and has more to offer so gets the nod in a tricky event.
