IN SALUTEM won this a year ago and is 14lb higher despite only winning once subsequently but if any horse deserves a change of fortune it's Ken Condon's charge. Disqualified after finishing runner-up in a major handicap at the Curragh, he was very unlucky in-running on a return visit then just failed to concede 9lb to Leading Actress at Cork on Saturday. Oneoveryou was only just behind him in the second of those races at the Curragh and though lightly-raced for her age she didn't appear to make much progress on her next start there last week though she did have Calm Bay, Sors, Three Bells and Quiet Warrior behind. It's almost two years since Antiquus won and she's been racing over much further.
