Big Kern finally got his head in front in a point at Necarne and his stable do well here but it's difficult to see him conceding weight to CROFTON TRAIL. Noel Meade's mare gave indications that her turn wasn't far off with a tremendous run in a premier bumper at the Punchestown Festival then couldn't quite cope with the potentially useful Gone Platinum at Kilbeggan. This should be within her capabilities and Nina Carberry can steer her home. Cinder Rose has improved with each run and wasn't beaten far at Wexford and the four-year-old Sulu Sea is one to keep an eye on in the betting.
