CONTINGENCY made a winning start for the champion trainer at Tramore last month and, in truth, she wasn't fully extended to gain it. She should have some improvement here and receiving weight all round, is likely to prove a tough nut to crack again. Jaime Sommers has been showing good form and got her rewards last time at Kilbeggan, she's also very much in the mix for this prize while Denham Sound should be much more at home over this longer trip and The Birdie Crowe may also appreciate stepping up in trip.
