Monty's Mission, a dual winner between the flags, will have found 2m too sharp on his comeback at Tramore last week but was staying on and goes from the same mark. SHE'S COMMANCHE won comfortably over 2m2f at Fairyhouse then found an 8lb rise and shorter trip against her at Thurles. She's been raised 2lb for that second place but is running well enough to defy the extra. The riding of Oneknightmoreihope came under scrutiny from the stewards at Limerick where over exaggerated waiting tactics were employed. He's been raised 4lb but is likely to get into contention and holds The Dreams Alive on that run. Golden Symphony ran a cracking race at Cork, her first since December, and looks a threat to all
