Dermot Weld won this last year and Valac will be fancied to follow suit, though the grey has found ways of being beaten after looking a certain future winner in his early starts. Mcguigan is another frustrating type who finished just in front of the former at Navan last time but Way Of Light is progressing with each run and was conceding 5lb to Burren View Lady when runner-up to her at Naas. BAIRNS AT BAY was having her first start on Turf when just failing to hold the late thrust of newcomer Granny May over this trip at Gowran. Time may tell she was taking on a useful rival and she can go one better. Tara Dylan, who started favourite in that latter event but was beaten almost six lengths, should be suited by further.
