KINGDOMFORTHEBRIDE scored at Galway last time having gone close behind today's rival Battleroftheboyne over C&D in yielding ground before that. He can reverse running here as the latter has shown little since. Bahama Spirit hasn't improved on an earlier win at Fairyhouse and has a bit to find with the selection, while Ok Annie's Sligo win came over 7f. Pale Orchid and Fastidious have bits of form that give them a chance, but neither have encountered soft ground so far.
