Noras Fancy galloped away from her rivals to score by 22l on very heavy ground at Galway on Sunday and her 6lb penalty is almost negated by her rider's claim. She must be considered for a quick double but has a lot of weight for a five-year-old. Ta Blazes made virtually all to score at Tramore but this looks tougher with a 5lb rise to contend with, while Burnswood hasn't been seen since a very good run over 2m5f at Limerick in May and could just need the outing. MONAHULLAN PRINCE hadn't been showing much on summer ground but softer conditions at Punchestown last time brought about a much improved effort and he gets the vote to go one better.
