Not a lot between the two likely to dominate the market but JEREMYS FLAME, a model of consistency, has really got her act together over the larger obstacles. She's won two of her last four outings and finished runner-up twice in Grade 2 company as well. Trip and ground are fine and she's sure to go well. Lifetime Ambition is the obvious threat and will find life easier here than when outclassed the last twice by Blue Lord and Bob Olinger respectively. West Cork Wildway looks best of the remainder but needs to improve to threaten the aforementioned pair.
