Insane Bolt has run three times against the in-form Meryems Way in recent weeks, finishing close behind twice and beating her at Gowran. Although 9lb higher than his victory Danny Sheehy's claim is a bonus and there's little between the pair here. Red Gerry ran a fine race behind Blenheim Palace at Navan after an earlier fourth behind Lyrical Attraction at Dundalk. The latter has the best of the weights here and is in such good form that a 10lb rise for her easy victory at Dundalk is unlikely to prevent another big run. OLYMPIC HONOUR has improved with every run and very nearly made all over this trip at Gowran last weekend. He's 2lb higher but there's more to come and Ben Coen is very good value for his claim.
