Diggin Deep loves the trip and good ground as he showed at Clonmel though consistency isn't a strongpoint. He had INVICTION 17 lengths behind though the latter reportedly suffered an injury and is better judged on a very good third at Tipperary, which may be good enough for this. Cornakill Rose, who won a maiden at the fixture a year ago, has yet to prove she stays this far. Important Message has won over 2m4f around here while Dedanann scored over the trip at Wexford before falling when tackling fences at Downpatrick. Rare Conor has been in good form over shorter but Siberian Star has been looking a few pounds high since scoring at Leopardstown in March. Loudest Whisper was engaged in the 8.00 here last night.
