ISOBELLA BLUE has improved out of all recognition on her two latest starts and, though 10lb higher after her very easy victory at Wexford, should land the hat-trick. Breeze With Ease hasn't been seen since a poor run at Wexford in April but his earlier form puts him in the frame for this and he will enjoy the soft ground. Like The Da suffered badly in the weights for his two earlier victories this year and needs some respite so Major Harry may provide more of a threat as he ran well over further at Cork last time following his shock victory at Ballinrobe. Serious Fun hasn't had much experience but makes her handicap debut and is one to keep an eye on in the betting.
