Three-year-olds have a good record in this and IBERGMAN can continue the trend. Sheila Lavery's filly had been running very well before landing a conditions race at Galway when the ground had some give. She'll be suited by the extra furlong and, providing the going doesn't firm up, she can complete a double. Plough Boy scored twice on fast going last month before finding Bribe The Bouncer just too strong in the closing stages at Galway. He's up another 6lb but his chance still looks obvious though the winner found dropping back to 7f against him on the same track a couple of days later and can confirm the form. Colour Rhapsody may have finished closer at the Curragh if she'd had a clear run while Strait Of Zanzibar ran another fine race at Roscommon on Monday and can never be dismissed in this company. Reckless Lad and Hatton Cross fought out a finish here last month with the former just prevailing but there's nothing between them again.
