Edmondstown Lass continues in good form but is high enough in the weights and will do well to win from an outside draw. Under Review had Statue Of Dreams behind when gaining a shock success on the sand at Laytown but the latter is much better on turf as he showed when scoring at Navan a couple of weeks ago. FIRST IN COMMAND has won twice from higher marks and has run well enough on his two latest starts in the UK to suggest he is up to this. His low draw may just give him the edge over the progressive Sable, who ran well behind Hello Man at Listowel last time.
