The veteran Fit The Cove didn't reappear until the middle of June but will be having his 11th start of the campaign here. He's been in excellent form though he's now 11lb higher than when scoring at Galway. Ondeafears is also looking high enough in the ratings after his success at the Curragh in May though he's very closely matched with Olfa, who beat him at Leopardstown in April but has finished behind him twice subsequently. Unanimous has been making steady progress and finally got off the mark over a mile at Leopardstown. This is a stiff task for a three-year-old however and it's MAUNDY MONEY who looks the one to be on. He last won a race at Tipperary in October from a mark of 80 and is now 9lb lower. He ran twice at the Galway Festival and his latest run behind Sadler's Mark suggests he's ready to regain the winning thread.
