Verdict

CACHE QUEEN has been making good progress and stepped up to 1m3f at Killarney where she won with a bit in hand. The Assessor has taken no chances with a 10lb rise but she still looks well handicapped. Rocky Blue was tackling this trip for the first time at Fairyhouse and went on at the furlong pole but had no answer to Baba Boom. That was a much improved run and he wouldn't need much more to get competitive. Dream Point has disappointed when well supported though it wasn't her fault when she slipped up on sticky ground at Ballinrobe. She's likely to prove best of the remainder though New Vocation hails from a yard in top form and is taking a big step up in trip.
