Willie Mullins has eight entries and can take this with the progressive DRURY, who makes her handicap debut after impressive victories at Punchestown and Fairyhouse. Harry Fry's Ena Baie has been sent to Ireland for handicaps here and at Galway and ran a fine race when a close third on this track last time. Gordon Elliott has three near the top of the weights with the classy Surin looking to put a poor run in a Limerick Grade 3 behind her. Jeremys Flame makes her handicap debut after finishing second in the Grade 1 Tolworth at Sandown with the remainder well beaten while Spruced Up has been touted for this since landing a Fairyhouse handicap by 18 lengths though she may find a 13lb rise too much to handle.
