Last year's winning trainer/jockey combination may have found another good chance here with
CANNONBALL. He was an even-money favourite on debut at Gowran Park on debut early this month but settled for second. The winner was second at Tipperary yesterday despite running green, so the form looks ok, and it won't be a shock if he goes one better now. The newcomers looks the most likely threats.
Air Supremacy was a costly purchase for Ballydoyle and demands respect while Smullen's mount
Cristofano Allori may be the more the likely of two from Rosewell House.
Vale Of Light can also go well, though her trainer has entered a leaner spell of late.
Poker Party has had his problems, but ran a fair race over hurdles last time and is worth a market check for respected jumps yard.
