FormscanBy Donal Murphy - DAZZLING DOVE might be able to take this weak contest. A close-up fourth on her penultimate start at Fairyhouse, she since disappointed when sent off favourite at Limerick, but was found to be coughing post-race. The daughter of Winged Love is given the chance to redeem herself now and with Jack Foley booked to ride, she can be expected to go close. Repeat That won this race twelve months ago and was still in with every chance when hampered and unseating at the second last on his most recent start at Limerick. He returns to flights now and should give a good account of himself, just one pound up on last year's winning mark. Humps And Bumps hasn't been seen since November but was a fine second of twenty on his penultimate start and can make his presence felt. Dangan Des Champs, who won a point-to-point at Tralee in May, is an interesting contender for Robert Tyner, while others for the shortlist are Dicey Rylee, Penny Jar and top-weight For The Cause.
