Hard Rain produced his best run to date at Tipperary in May and hasn't had much racing so may be capable of better. Flashthelights beat a big field in a Naas handicap in March and made a bold bid to defy an extra 6lb at Ballinrobe a week later while Lucy Van Pelt, who beat a big field of handicappers at Punchestown in May, wasn't right when well beaten at Cork last month. ONLY ONE PLAN (NAP) has been gradually improving and wouldn't need to do much more than his placed effort at Killarney in July, a race that has worked out very well, to get off the mark.
