Ciaras Lady hasn't had too much experience but that didn't deter those who plunged on her at Limerick last month. Unfortunately she got no further than the second so her supporters will be looking for compensation. PRETTY HAPPY finished first past the post in a similar race to this over 2m here a year ago but her rider weighed in slightly under the limit. She stays this trip well and is back on a winning mark. Sweet Spirit is still a maiden but produced her best effort to date when third to Tawrific Laois at Thurles where Yeoman was staying on at the end of that 2m2f event. Jossetown Lad ran well behind Le Reveur here in October but that was over two miles and he has yet to run over today's trip.
