Confident Star has been highly tried since his Cork maiden victory and will have needed last week's run at the Curragh. Warren Beach is improving rapidly and made all for a convincing victory at Listowel while Silken Ladder has gone up 22lb for her two recent victories and is unlikely to have finished progressing. CORPORAL VIOLETTE is the least experienced of these but looked a filly to follow when beating subsequent dual winner All In The Mind at Leopardstown. The remaining pair will need to raise their game to get involved.
