Eighteen Summers has disappointed since two fine runs in September but it would be foolish to write him off just yet and he's on a nice mark. Boynagh Joy gained her first-ever victory from a mark of 50 here a year ago and it's a measure of her progress that she's 23lb higher now. She found 1m2f just stretching her last time and back over her best trip looks sure to go well. JEANGEORGES hasn't run badly on his two starts here and showed himself in great heart with a battling success over tonight's trip at Leopardstown last week. A 6lb rise looks fair and he can see off the expected challenge of West Coast Dream, who wasn't far behind Boynagh Joy at the Curragh and has since run well at Navan.
