Having eased in the weights, FINDING JOY ran well to finish placed in handicaps at Killarney/Downpatrick and is best forgiven her latest effort at Down Royal 7 days ago, unable to recover from a bad mistake having been short of room 3 out. She gets the nod to bounce back quickly in a wide-open affair, with Fly Little Bird, Memories Remain and Avondale Smiles heading up the dangers.
