An uncompetitive affair should, barring a mishap, fall to Colliers Quay who showed significant improvement for the chance to tackle extreme distances when scoring at Cork and was then far from disgraced when fourth of 17 in a valuable handicap at Galway last time. This trip looks sure to bring the best out of him and he should have little difficulty in disposing of weak opposition. Inis Eile, who has shown a modicum of ability, looks the one for the forecast ahead of Nova Girl.
