Found improvement, back from 5 months off, when readily taking 14-runner handicap at Listowel (16.2f, good, 11/1) 45 days ago. 10 lb higher now but another bold bid is on the cards.

Much improved when making a winning handicap bow at this course (11.2f, good) 3 days ago, driven out. Carries 6 lb penalty for that victory but may have more to offer yet.

Opened account at Roscommon (12.1f) in May and ran just as well in defeat when good second of 10 in handicap (5/1) at same course (10.3f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Worth a crack at this longer trip and is not taken lightly.

Forecasts

Love Sonnet (15/8), Coulstys Way (3/1), Lady Kai (4/1), Ifitwasme (15/2), Randall Poets Lass (8/1), Disco Boy (8/1), Tuba (14/1), Surrey Force (14/1), Atheneum (16/1), Garrybello (22/1), Ehteyat (80/1)

Verdict

LADY KAI made a sound return at Gowran in May and may well have been targeted at this contest. She gets the nod. Love Sonnet and Coulstys Way rate the principal dangers.
