Most of these arrive badly out of form and THE CHURCH GATE's latest better run was over fences though he produced a couple of decent efforts over hurdles in March and that would probably be good enough. He was beaten a head by Be My Vinnie at Limerick and has enough of a pull in the weights to gain his revenge over the top weight. Zagnzig did better when dropped back to the minimum here last week while Cottonvale, who hasn't been running badly, is still looking a few pounds high. Queeny has gained both career victories over further though the testing conditions should bring her stamina into play.
