Jack Kennedy may need a spell in the sauna to get down to 9st11lb on DINARIA DES OBEAUX (NAP). Gordon Elliott's filly, a Grade 3 winner over timber, showed real tenacity to get the better of the promising Le Martalin on her chasing bow at Wexford with the remainder in another parish. This is another tough task for a four-year-old but she looks up to it and can take advantage of the 21lb she receives from Slowmotion. Joseph O'Brien's mare ran a superb race when third in the Galway Plate though that was on good going and she hasn't done herself justice on more testing ground in subsequent races. Miss Eyecatcher completed a double over this trip in novice company but didn't run as well over shorter here a couple of weeks ago while Thanks For Tea hasn't really made her mark at this level. Magic Of Light looks a very progressive chaser and jumped well when making all at Fairyhouse so she can get into the frame.
