Jessica Harrington has won this three times in the past five years and has the only newcomer entered here, Boom Box, who is by Big Bad Bob out of a decent miler. However, this looks a tough start in the conditions and SIGHT HOUND will probably take some stopping. Dermot Weld's colt was only beaten a short-head on his Clonmel debut and performed even better in a strong Naas maiden six days later. Both runs were over 1m2f on soft ground so conditions won't be a problem. Love Rosie had no answer to Roca Rojo at Killarney but the winner has since won a much better race so the form looks strong. Kirks Ryker showed marked improvement from his opening run to be narrowly beaten into third at Killarney and has to be respected.
