Breffni Gael's two victories last summer included this race from 11lb lower and she slowly been dropping back to a reasonable mark. Molinero went up 9lb for winning here in October and would have been feeling the pinch when running poorly at Limerick four days later. Waterloo Chateau was having just his third start over fences when scoring at Kilbeggan and a 6lb rise shouldn't prevent another big run in that kind of form. The Colleen Ban has shown enough ability over fences to find a race somewhere in the near future though her best form has come on quicker ground. FENNIS MOLL is only a five-year-old but is progressing fast if her last two runs are a guide. She followed a short-head defeat by Knockanarrigan here with an emphatic victory at Killarney and a 6lb rise doesn't look enough to prevent her going in again.
