Verdict
Only the top pair arrive in any sort of form here. Be My Dream has never won and appeared to be suited by heavy ground when runner-up at Limerick and could do with some rain. The veteran Lisclogher Lad has a strike-rate of 1-40 and has been running over fences since returning from point-to-points. Darling Miss makes her handicap debut but hasn't shown much while Loch Luatha is the only course winner in the line-up though that was over fences and he's 0-24 over timber. GLENMALURE LODGE had shown nothing before tackling this trip for the first time at Clonmel last month where he defied mistakes to get into contention at the last. He couldn't go through with his effort but wasn't beaten far and remains on the same mark so looks the one to be on.
