Green Sky has a lot of weight for a three-year-old on her handicap debut though is certain to improve for her Ballinrobe maiden victory. Independent Expert found a premier handicap too tough at the Curragh and is better judged on her earlier victory at Limerick. Fools Glory was beaten a head over the course and distance on soft ground in May and ran well at Killarney last time while MACHNAMH (NAP) gained her deserved reward in a Curragh maiden last week and an opening handicap mark of 77 looks manageable. Dundalk winner Mere Accountant looks best of the remainder.
