Mighty Blue, who has had a spell over hurdles, won this last year and easily landed a Gowran Listed contest in May. She needs some rain but Mikey Sheehy's claim is a plus. Her stable companion Merroir bids for a hat-trick under her regular pilot though she's been raised a massive 11lb for her Galway victory. The progressive Kazakdaria makes her handicap debut after landing a Leopardstown maiden while Hamley, who has won around here, is back on the mark when last successful though has done better over shorter. Pachmena is 3lb out of the handicap but her young rider's claim is a huge bonus and a big run is expected while Aintree bumper winner Me Too Please could be well handicapped. PARTY HOUSE (NAP) has been very highly tried since a winning debut at Naas and makes her handicap bow from what could prove a lenient mark so gets the nod.
