Molly Kaye has struck form in recent weeks, scoring narrowly from today's rival Island Mahee over the track and trip then beaten a head on heavy ground at the Curragh. She's on her highest mark but it will be a surprise if both she and the runner-up are not there at the finish. They both hold Fair Minded on that run while Vitudurum ran his best race to date over timber when a close third to Sadie's Trix at Fairyhouse a couple of weeks ago. However, those who saw SHE'S COMMANCHE (NAP) cruise to victory when well supported on the same track won't want to miss her here despite an 8lb rise. Listenheretomejack has been progressing with every run and didn't quite get the run of the race when just failing to concede 6lb to Mattie's Mountain, also at Fairyhouse, so has to be on the shortlist.
