Claims can be made for plenty in a competitive handicap, with the vote in favour of APRILS JOY. A winner over hurdles at Downpatrick in June, she confirmed herself still in top form when going in again on the Flat at Tramore 11 days ago and her present mark still looks exploitable. Thousand Tears, Clonbury Bridge and Good World head up the dangers.
