Joseph O'Brien's four entries include Volto Di Medusa, who was engaged in the 3.55 at Navan yesterday. Admiral Mae has run well in two claimers and Ballyrichard is likely to have come on plenty for last month's Naas debut. CORNAHILT SOLDIER handled the heavy conditions well at Down Royal and, with Wesley Joyce taking 7lb off, is weighted to get off the mark. Ritournelle has looked as though she needed this sort of trip in her two starts while Brosna Town looks a staying prospect.
