RATHNALEEN TOU was much improved on her yard bow when bagging a big-field handicap here last month and is fancied to defy a big rise in the weights here. In-form Fredastare is feared most in his bid to gain a breakthrough victory, with C&D scorer Fleurys Fort another well worth considering in an open handicap.
