A low grade handicap in which LAKE FIELD has a decent chance of carrying his big weight to victory, despite being a maiden and raised 7lb for finishing second at Thurles last time. Donagh Meyler's claim can see Shay Barry's charge gain his first success. Ballyfinboy has been chasing and won twice during the summer. He can revert to hurdles on a 19lb lower mark so goes on the short-list along with Hannah's Lane, who produced her best run to date when runner-up at Thurles last month before slightly disappointing at Gowran. Jack Kennedy's claim can help Rock N'stones get closer while Borussia was only just beaten over the track and trip in October though she's still a maiden after 28 career starts.
