Fassbender has won around here and usually goes well on the track though he's never been this far. Important Message has no problems with the trip and almost pulled off a shock victory at Bellewstown while Wild Caprice found 2m1f too short at Sligo on Sunday having run very well over further on her previous two starts. PORKY RUSH is 0-14 but has gone well the last twice he's raced over the track and trip. He's only 1lb higher than when narrowly beaten last time, when Townhill Penny was behind, and can go one better.
