Those who witnessed the impressive victory of CACIQUE ROYALE (NAP) at Naas on Tuesday won't want to miss him here. Andy Oliver's charge was having only his seventh start and has been gradually improving and, though penalised 6lb, he was due to drop 2lb so looks very well handicapped. Mzuri, who finished fourth that day and was engaged at Laytown yesterday, looks held along with Maid In Manhattan though the latter, from last year's winning yard, can get closer. Both Miro and Papal Motel were well beaten at Roscommon on Monday.
