DORKAS won over C&D in good style last month and looked booked to follow up at Tramore before crashing out late on. She's now rated 11lb higher than for the previous success here but ran well enough at Galway last off a mark of 97 in a race that didn't play to her reserves of stamina to merit the suggestion she's going to be a tough nut to crack back around this venue over 3m. Doolough Lad was runner-up behind the selection last time, returning from more a year on the sidelines and has to command respected with the benefit of that run while last year's winner Willow Grange is 3lb lower this time and must be noted, despite showing only mediocre form since and a record of 1-51 in his career. Routes Choice hasn't achieve a lot over fences, but this longer trip might be a help for him.
