This isn't much of a race and Dermot Weld's newcomer Confidence would have been the selection but for the fact he's wearing blinkers, which isn't the best of signs. The Grey Rebel didn't appear to improve on his debut effort when only third behind Tweedy at Naas and has something to find with THE MIGHTY ATOM, who finished runner-up. Tracey Collins' filly has run well here in the past and can get off the mark. Gala Spirit made a promising debut at Fairyhouse but didn't improve as expected at Naas two weeks later.
