Won well under a confident ride at Sligo and may cope okay with the 8lb rise.

Best of the rest behind comfortable winner Whisky On The Hill at Sligo; has 8lb pull.

Handicaps should be more like it and the potential is there to rate higher.

Filly who isn't progressing but was only 4.5l away over this far at Dundalk; now blinkered
2 (8)	Al Sayah Bay J:Andrew Slattery T:John S Odonoghue	J:Andrew Slattery T:John S Odonoghue	135	p	888-	66	72	54	189d	—	—	0	5.6	3.75/1	16 6%
Quiet last season but could be a different proposition in handicaps.
3 (3)	Grey Fable Grey J:Robbie Colgan T:Ms Sheila Lavery	J:Robbie Colgan T:Ms Sheila Lavery	133	—	045-90	64	74	27	17d	—	—	0	5	4.25/1	18 6%
Hints of winning potential but has shown pretty much zilch this campaign.
6 (6)	Ruler Of The River Bay J:W J Lee T:Andrew Kinirons	J:W J Lee T:Andrew Kinirons	128	—	067-	59	63	40	189d	—	—	-2	3.7	4.25/1	18 6%
By a Derby winner so likely to improve for this longer trip on his handicap debut.
8 (2)	Harrison Meadows Bay J:Siobhan Rutledge(5) T:John C Mcconnell	J:Siobhan Rutledge(5) T:John C Mcconnell	119	p	00-09	50	73	-	80d	—	—	-9	3.4	9.75/1	40 3%
Quiet so far, in three maidens and on handicap debut at Dundalk (1m2f).
