A highly competitive affair in which many have claims. ALRIGHT DARLING (20) is improving rapidly at present. Won two of the last three starts including by 4. 5L at Tramore last time. Up in the weights but remains a leading fancy. SPANISH JOHN (21) was 3. 5L second at Clonmel. That form reads well however and can take a further step forward. Key player. INSOUCIANT DALLIER (1) shed the maiden tag under this apprentice last time. May build upon that and rates a big chance of going back to back. WATCHING THE CLOCK (6) was sent off favourite tackling a better race than this only to run 11L fourth at Navan. Clearly felt capable of better and looks a threat to all here.
