Missile Command dropped to down to the minimum to gain his first victory on Turf at Bellewstown and a 5lb rise makes things tougher. Denis Linehan led home an incredible 1-2-3 for John Murphy's yard on board TANNERON at Tipperary last week and comes here with a 5lb penalty. A similar run will see her difficult to beat and she's taken to defy the extra though Artistic Integrity looks a threat as he's run very well over a mile on his last two starts. The lightly-raced Double Fast ran very well behind the in-form Aye Aye Skipper at the Curragh and is just 1lb higher while Gary Halpin has more experience than most of these young riders and it wouldn't be a shock if he steered Athassel to a first success on his 22nd start.
