Official ratings point to the obvious chance of CASS BLIGH, whose second to the prolific Ballyadam Brook at Listowel is comfortably the best form on view. Adrian Murray's charge has most to fear from Cyborg, who beat Balladam Brook at Ballinrobe in May though the latter has improved dramatically since then. Stakers has run quite well since landing a Tipperary maiden but has more to do here and Credit Box could snatch a place receiving lumps of weight though she's still a maiden after 24 starts.
