Philip Dempsey has done a superb job with Prospectorous who has now won on turf, over fences and hurdles, and on Polytrack which he did in great style last week. He's also versatile over distances as his latest successes have come over a mile and 1m4f. ELUSIVE RIDGE gets the vote as she has run twice on the surface and performed with credit on both occasions. She was only just caught by Barbadine here last week and looks certain to make a bold bid. Bob Le Beau produced a rare poor effort at Tipperary after scoring here previously and the handicapper may have got to him but Prince Chaparral was probably undone by the 1m6f trip at Killarney rather than the extra weight for his earlier victories. Rock Medley wasn't beaten far when favourite at Sligo on Wednesday and Jim Bolger wouldn't run him unless convinced he can recoup losses.
