Ross Caukley has steered Liberty Island to two narrow victories where his claim has been invaluable. The combination look certain to go well again here but BIG BAD LILY, who was well supported to beat him at Down Royal, got no sort of run and can turn the tables. Her two previous efforts suggest she's well enough handicapped to lose her maiden tag on her 11th career start. Missile Command led for a long way over 6f at the Curragh last time and the quicker ground will be in his favour while Ability N Delivery is well in with Liberty Island on latest Dundalk form and must be a threat.
