A very competitive end to a superb card. Domination has been heavily supported on his last three starts but found one too good, including over timber at Killarney last week. He's not badly handicapped on the Flat and connections will be looking for compensation. Louisville Lip appears much better on more testing ground than he'll face here but the lightly-raced Shelford is 11lb better off with I Have A Dream for a three-length beating over the C&D in July and has the scope to reverse the form and go close. Call Me Bubbles went up a massive 13lb for his victory at Roscommon but still managed to beat a strong field at Galway a month later. He's been handed another 15lb for this but Leigh Roche can claim 3lb and Willie Mullins' charge has to be a threat. ALL THAT RULES beat subsequent winner Hail on fast ground at Wexford before a better run behind Livia Galilei at Gowran where he stayed on strongly over that 1m4f. That was only his fifth start and with the longer trip likely to suit he's handed the vote.
