Verdict
The veteran Bective Cave went up 5lb for landing a Roscommon handicap but made a bold bid to defy the extra at Limerick so should be thereabouts. Joy's Gift was well beaten in that Roscommon event though has won around here but this can go to MYLADYROSE. Ann Mooney's mare hasn't had much racing and showed she was progressive when headed right on the line at Kilbeggan. That was over 2m4f but she was travelling well throughout and should have the pace for this. Lady Of The Sea is capable of a big run though would prefer a longer trip and her stable companion Wild Desire may have a better chance as she won over this trip last summer from just 3lb lower. Blackyellowred was only beaten a length at Limerick and may prove best of the remainder.
