Mike Mulvany has won this for the past two years so don't discount Tom Dooley on his first start on fast ground. Aidan O'Brien quickly puts a visor on BLUEBELL, who was edged out by Greeneyed Monster at Killarney on Monday over a mile where she looked a certain winner at this trip. She can gain compensation though The Organ Grinder looks a real threat. He followed a very good run behind Stubbs at Navan with an easy victory over 7f on soft ground at Leopardstown and looks certain to go close if handling the conditions. The consistent Harlem Shake and Down Royal winner Hilltown Gal are others with chances in a competitive nursery.
