Dermot Weld must be despairing of finding a race for CREME DE LA but she undoubtedly has the best form in the race and gets another chance to boost her paddock value. Her recent second to Black Hawk Star at Limerick could be given a boost by the winner in the Listed contest earlier. Fountain, who wasn't too far behind at Limerick, should have some progress in him. Collision Course was a 66/1 chance when tackling Listed company at the Curragh and though not beaten far that was back in May and he has a long absence to overcome. Sevilla has been racing over much further and her best run came on very fast going at Limerick. while after three promising efforts last summer, London has had just one run this season finishing a long way behind when tackling 1m4f at the Curragh in July so he's best watched for now.
