Swingbridge won a chase at Perth three weeks ago and can race of a 7lb lower mark back over hurdles. But the five-year-old PLEASURE DOME has more scope now handicapping after winning a novice hurdle at Ballinrobe and Willie Mullins’ mare is taken to show further progress today. Cluan Dara returns to handicapping after finishing fourth in novice company here while About You has been thereabouts in lower grade contests recently. Internal Transfer won easily at Limerick back in April but remains 16lb higher and it was testing ground when Sir Ector won last year’s renewal.
