Givemeabuzz has been runner-up four times between the flags recently but has yet to reach a place over regulation fences. Kilmurry Kid won a handicap here last October and returned to form when just touched off by Rory's Brother at Limerick over Christmas. He could have done without an extra 4lb but should get competitive. THATS THE DREAM has yet to win under Rules but looks ready to open his account judged on his latest effort behind Miss Palm over this course and distance. Preswell Lad won this a year ago so with just 2lb more he can make a bold bid for a follow-up.
