Aye Aye Skipper completed a double within four days last month and attempted a quick hat-trick at Bellewstown but didn't get the run of the race and his chance may have gone with a new mark. APACHE GOLD (NAP), who had won over this trip at Tipperary earlier in the month, was conceding him 13lb when beaten just under two lengths over a mile at Killarney and on the revised terms can take revenge and land this. Avalanche isn't far away from his first victory judging by his last two runs, the latest at Roscommon on Monday, while Fairy Foxglove has also been narrowly beaten in her two latest runs though over 6f on fast going. Peony Rose showed her first sign of form behind Tanneron at Tipperary so a big run from the winner in division one will enhance her prospects.
