The Jessica Harrington-trained MOONSHINE BAY was keeping on well after the last at the Punchestown festival to eventually finish fifth of the 25 runners last month over this trip and should have enough in the locker to land this contest. Baily Moon and the Stuart Crawford-trained Ardean Lass are the best of the rest in this modest renewal.
