It will be interesting to see how Aimhirgin Lass runs in the previous race as she finished runner-up to KNOCKMAOLE BOY (NAP) at Ballinrobe. Jim Culloty's charge is up 4lb but has been very lightly raced and with more to come can complete a double. Windsor Beach has had even less experience and though failing to land a gamble at Leopardstown might do better in these easier underfoot conditions. Beechmount Whisper has now won three of his last five and unseated his rider in another. He's won on all kinds of ground and though now on a career high mark has to be respected. Royal Blessing hasn't won since landing a Leicester seller last July.
