The three-year-old Kedleston was raised a massive 22lb for his two victories at the beginning of the year and that looks to have stopped him for now but the only other youngster in the field, SLIM CHANCE, looks to have a decent opportunity. A debut winner at Down Royal last summer, she made a very promising Polytrack debut when staying on over 6f here last month and looks to have got in here lightly. Pivotal Rock scored over 1m3f here last time so it's s surprise to see him dropping back in trip so it's Knockgraffon Lad who may prove the main threat as he was headed right on the line by Barrow Island over the C&D last month with Gaeity Theatre close up in third.
