John McConnell's trio looks to be headed by ARCTIC BLAZE, a winner at Tipperary last month, who looked the likely winner when leading for a long way at Dundalk but faded close home. He holds Storm Steps and French Company on that earlier run while Tom Queally rides Magnetic North, who stays the trip well enough as does three-times winner Final Endeavour, who has Colin Keane on board. Franno has only scored twice but is gradually dropping to a winnable mark while Wild Shot completed a hat-trick in early summer.
