The fact that Joseph O'Brien is on board TREASURE BEACH and Johnny Murtagh is riding Brittany shouldn't deter prospective punters supporting the former as the young rider's claim will be a big aid as his mount attempts to complete a hat-trick. Battling victories over 7f at Gowran and Galway suggest the extra furlong here will suit and he may just have the edge on Brittany, who was sent into Listed company after her maiden success at Gowran. Hasty Katie aimed even higher on her last outing where she finished last in a Group 2 but she had run well earlier and is no forlorn hope. Jamesie will need to improve again after his victory at Bellewstown but Bobskier is not out of this despite his defeat in a claimer at Down Royal on Friday as he may have been ring-rusty following a lay-off.
