Faradays Law gained a surprise victory at Dundalk and is just 3lb higher so has to be respected but Tenth Amendment has gone up 10lb for a comfortable victory over this course and distance last month. Match My Fire hails from an in-form yard and finally got off the mark under a big weight at Tramore so should go well though stable companion Maricruz could just have the edge after running well on the latter track after going up 8lb for a comfortable Sligo success. It's difficult to know what to make of Madrid, a son of Galileo who makes a belated reappearance after three juvenile runs on testing ground, but he could prove to be well handicapped. One Cool Poet has been going well on the Flat and over timber and has won from a higher mark than this but it's about time TOUCH OF GOLD was winning on the Flat and, with a strong pace likely, the successful hurdler can make his stamina count from what looks a low enough mark.
