All seven arrive in good form in this but Bosman Rule didn't have much to beat at Listowel and, though winning easily, jumped poorly - he will need to do better against this opposition. Fruits Of Molly lost her maiden tag at the sixth time of asking with an impressive victory at Tipperary and is capable of further progress as is the four-year-old Shantou Flyer, who looked a smart staying prospect at Downpatrick in May. PADRAIG'S JOY had a very stiff task at the weights in a Limerick handicap after her Cork victory and, as she receives weight from all of her opponents here, is given the nod.
