LUCKY MISTAKE won a soft-ground handicap at Leopardstown in October and almost defied a 9lb hike in the weights at Naas. He didn't get the best of runs at Limerick last month and can concede weight all round here. Ace Of Diamonds is back on exactly the same mark as when scoring at Leopardstown a year ago though he hasn't done as well on very heavy ground subsequently. Heart Of Gold showed promise in half-a-dozen starts in the UK for William Muir though hasn't run since August. His stable companion King Christophe won a Dundalk handicap in March and was running in much better company at Naas last time where his saddle slipped in the early stages. Dayereh has looked moderate though has been reasonably consistent in maidens and makes her handicap debut.
