Famous Name completed a hat-trick in this for Dermot Weld, who also won it last year. The lightly-raced Joailliere represents him this time and she still has some improvement in her and is 4lb better off with Onenightidreamed for the length-and-a-half she was beaten in a Curragh Group 3 a fortnight ago. The winner is a tough competitor who won't go down without a fight but the one to take out of the race was runner-up FLIGHT RISK. She was only caught in the closing stages and should reverse the form with the winner, even over this longer trip, on slightly better terms. Mohaayed will have come on for his run under a big weight in the Irish Lincoln while Brendan Brackan ended the last campaign with a Listed success at Cork but was well behind the selection in a Curragh Group 3 last April.
