Kandahari, who has a 6lb penalty for Wednesday's victory at Gowran, was a reserve in the 6.20 at Tramore yesterday so is more likely to run here. In Our Blood has yet to win but went close over 1m4f at Gowran and has a fine young apprentice in the saddle while Bo Bridget has been in good form and looks well treated though she's yet to convince over this trip. CARRIGEEN PRINCE, who beat her over a mile at Naas, has since run a fine race over this sort of trip at Down Royal when carrying a huge weight so he's handed the vote over El Tren, who has been in very good shape though over further.
