Race preview
Tankardstown Diva beat Ballycairn (sixth) when denied by the smallest of margins over 2m4f here last month and the extra distance could unlock further improvement, so she ought to go close. However, preference is for A GREAT BUZZ, who is only 1lb higher than when an encouraging third at Cork. Robert Tyner's five-year-old makes only her third handicap start and she could progress to shed her maiden tag. Doonbeg Don and Mahler Appeal are others to watch out for.
