Moonovercloon ran very well at Galway but is 9lb higher than when successful at Downpatrick in June. Cottie has an almost identical profile and hails from a stable in good form but Must Meet Cecil will find this tougher than the claimer he won here a couple of weeks ago. Dancing Jeremy was in the lead at this trip when tackling three miles at Limerick and has to be respected but this can go to ARCTIC AMBITION. He completed a double over 2m6f in May and his two later placed efforts came over fences. Game And Glory ran well at Downpatrick though is held by Cottie on earlier form there.
