Moving Statue is creeping up the weights but appears to be progressing, though proved no match for LEGENDARY TIMES over a shorter trip at Gowran last month. Patrick Flynn's mare has since run well over 1m4f at Wexford and goes well for an inexperienced rider. She gets a tentative vote in this but it's probably a race in which stakes should be kept to a minimum. Paddy The Celeb is still a maiden but it would be no surprise to see him creep into a place at generous odds, while Silver Shuffle will be all the better for his second over C&D last month. Kristal Komet may need further, however, while Fairylike and Harrison's Cave have a bit to find on the form book. Paramount and Sparring Partner are consistent and look the pick of the remainder.
