Dave Bergin gained his first victory on just his second ride when he brought COOL ATHLETE home at Tipperary on Friday and though his mount has been handed an 8lb rise by the assessor he can race with a 5lb penalty here and his young jockey can claim 4lb. He can land a quick double though the maiden Moving Statue will surely be winning soon after a very good effort behind Rock On Ciara at Kilarney and looks a big threat. Silly Dancer's last success came in this race in 2009 but he's dropped to a fair mark and showed signs of a revival at Leopardstown last week. No Trimmings looked in top form when landing a Naas handicap last month but didn't show much back on the same track at the beginning of this month and is looking a few pounds high.
