Poker Party has gradually improved over fences and was always travelling like a winner over the course and distance last month. He's up 9lb but it will be a surprise if he's not involved in the finish. Impact Factor was a bit disappointing when beaten at Punchestown after a very good run behind the smart Cilaos Emery at Gowran but he'd earlier finished 2l behind UISCE BEATHA at Fairyhouse. The winner looks a progressive type and a mark of 126 may be underestimating his ability. Peacocks Secret has won around here and is closely matched with Monatomic on their 1-2 at Down Royal while Kildorrery ran very well in a Grade B handicap at Leopardstown last time.
