The major worry for both the form picks, Noble Saffron and Beni Light, is whether they can reproduce their good recent form on ground that's forecast to be a lot slower. It makes this a more open race than first appears, and maybe< b>EMISSAIRE can take advantage. Plenty from the yard are needing a run, but they are having winners too, and Emissaire could improve a chunk for the switch to fences today. Ballybreen needs a market check for support, and even the likes of Stupid Cupid and Best Director can't be discounted.
