SILVER LIGHTENING is rated 82 which is normally good enough to win an ordinary maiden. He had a well beaten Milt Yarberry behind when beaten less than a length at Fairyhouse last week and Kevin Prendergast's charge gets another chance to open his account in this. Inkerman and Indian Icon should make a race of it as both showed promise on their respective debuts at Gowran and Naas with the former finishing well ahead of Stynes. The remainder are harder to fancy with the exception of newcomer Jayed Jidan, a 180,000 euros purchase and half-brother to five winners including the high-class Halfway To Heaven.
