CARRIED WITH LOVE is of strong interest back in this sphere on the back of her improved display over hurdles at Cork where she landed a 19-runner maiden in good style. On that evidence, the 4-y-o looks well treated. Duke of Leggagh was a creditable third at Ballinrobe and may emerge as the main danger, though Bambeano, who was just touched off by Grizabella at Sligo recently, is another to consider.
