Following the defection of Wicklow Flyer, ISLAND MAHEE, makes appeal in the hope he'll be ready to roll after 113 days off. He landed a Class 2 handicap at Musselburgh in March and was a close third at Cork - also in handicap company - when last seen in early April. Those runs set a decent form standard. Hooroo also has shown decent handicap form and has a course and distance success to his name in May. He too has a strong chance with Lewis Stones claiming a useful 7lb. Petite Rhapsody looks best of the rest.
