Baily Thunder scored over this trip at Sligo last month and his later runs have been over further. SUNRISE LADY was always travelling well when scoring comfortably over 2m6f here a couple of weeks ago and a repeat would see her difficult to beat despite a 9lb rise. Bitview Colin won a Listowel handicap over this distance and ran very well over a trip too short at Ballinrobe but Rolling Revenge, an easy winner over 2m2f at Clonmel, has proved himself better on less testing ground than he'll get here.
