Camphor has improved with every run and stayed on very well to land a Navan maiden so could be well in here off 78. LEAGAN GAEILGE made a successful debut on testing ground at Gowran in October and was racing on much faster going when narrowly beaten in a Curragh handicap last month. She's surprisingly been dropped 1lb and can take advantage. Stormy Tale is generally consistent but could be a bit high in the weights after going up 4lb for her victory at Roscommon but Cj Cregg has continued to make rapid strides since tackling soft ground and looks certain to get into contention. Melburnian, a dual winner in France, returned from a spell over hurdles with a very good run at Cork though may find this on the short side.
