Jealika came with a late burst to touch off BOBBY JEAN over an extended 6f at Limerick but the runner-up is much better off at the weights and should be capable of reversing the form and adding to her earlier Tipperary victory. Laviniad will enjoy the conditions and was well supported on her reappearance at Limerick though she was a bit disappointing. Beat The Ballot doesn't win often enough but is well handicapped on his best form though a bigger threat may emerge in the shape of Sakhees Jack. He's a progressive type who has been going well over 7f and if staying the extra would be difficult to beat off this mark. Princess Glamour only went up 2lb for her victory at Navan in October and with a 10lb claimer on board she could prove to be a blot on the handicap.
