Lady Scathach has won two of her four starts on this track, both on ground with plenty of give. She's struggled at the weights the last twice but has now dropped to her last winning mark. Conversant rarely runs over a trip this far but stayed on very strongly to score over an extended 6f at Listowel so has to be respected. Kody Ridge ran his best race for some time over the course and distance last time but RULE THE SEA looked ideally suited by front-running at Tipperary and, though 7lb higher, his young rider can inspire him to make all again. Procurator doesn't win often but is back on his last winning mark and Tom Madden is a positive booking.
