Verdict
Kellie's Dream got up close home over two miles at Wexford but jumped poorly at Downpatrick next time. Early Arrival was narrowly beaten here in March but had been running poorly before a much better effort over fences at Wexford. Light Parade showed nothing in maidens but made a promising start in handicaps at Downpatrick a couple of weeks ago. Appian Way is now 0-28 and last Friday's second at Listowel was over three miles so it's the lightly-raced HARD TARGET who gets the nod. He hadn't shown much before being well supported at Tramore last month where he was beaten less than two lengths.
