Gali Flight has never won but has done better in recent weeks since stepping up to this sort of trip. Mare Quimby was well supported at Fairyhouse last time though found 2m an inadequate test of stamina but PALE BLUE DOT (NAP) has made great strides since tackling this trip. Narrowly beaten at Leopardstown, he just failed to concede 19lb to Cafe Del Mar at Thurles and should get off the mark. A Different World looks a threat on his close second at Punchestown in January while any money for Noble Expression should be noted.
