LUMMI ISLAND had the race in safe-keeping at the time of his final-flight departure at Limerick and compensation awaits here, provided he is able to reproduce that form without the aid of the first-time cheekpieces he sported that day. The lightly-raced Midnight Fairy has taken steps forward switched to handicaps the last twice and she is next on the list ahead of recent Kilbeggan winner Joe's Turn and handicap debutante Diamonds Diva.
