MISTER WILSON has really found his form on heavy ground, completing a double in very convincing fashion over 7f at Gowran and Galway. He's up 8lb and dropping back in trip but still looks well enough treated. King Of Bavaria landed a 5f maiden here back in May in a race which has produced several subsequent winners so he should make a bold bid to remain unbeaten. His stablemate Heart To Heart beat a big field in a Navan maiden earlier this month and will enjoy the conditions but Magniffico's recent strong form has been on good going. Tartan Skirt made a very encouraging debut at Punchestown and showed the benefit on ground with plenty of give at the Curragh while Eastern Wind is improving fast and took advantage of heavy going at Limerick so has to be respected.
