Ger Lyons has his horses in such good form that Casimiro is respected on just his second start for the yard after an eye-catching effort here last time. Alans Pride appears to enjoy running in huge fields as he gained his second victory against 29 opponents when returning at the Curragh. He's shot up 10lb and this is tougher, especially as Gunmaker was having his first start for Gavin Cromwell when gaining a surprise victory at Dundalk and will make a bold bid to follow up despite a 9lb rise. PROSECUTION has never won and has gone up in the weights again after again finding a mile on heavy ground just too far at the Curragh but it's about time he was losing his maiden tag and he's handed the vote. Both Markhan and King Torus are very well treated at their best and any money for either should be noted.
