Many of these arrive in cracking form, none more so than CARLOWSANTANA, who gets the nod to complete a hat-trick after victories in big fields at Limerick and Gowran where he has been strongly fancied on both occasions. Ilikeyou just failed to complete her hat-trick when runner-up to Gudnis Gracious at Downpatrick and she should again be in the firing-line while Major Key ran a fine race behind Lough Ferrib here last time and can make further progress. Go On Ya Boyo is 21lbs higher than for the first of his victories at Limerick in March while Chinara might just be better over further on fast ground. Tipper Road can never be ruled out in this company and will have found Kilbeggan's 2m3f stretching his stamina last week after an excellent second to Castle Anshan over today's trip at Tipperary.
