Obsession has been badly out of sorts over hurdles while Quench The Flame may need another run on just her second start since October 2010. DUSTY TRAIL, a six-times winner on the Flat including this in 2010, is 4lb lower than when scoring over this trip on soft ground at Roscommon last September and looks ready to win again. Passion Planet lost her maiden tag when sent to Newcastle where the 1m6f trip and good ground appeared to suit. This looks tougher and Ballochroy also needs further as his latest success on the level came over 2m1f at Clonmel in April.
