The four-year-old Captain Conby overcame mistakes when gaining a shock course and distance victory last month though there looked no fluke about the success and an opening mark of 114 looks workable. She's Commanche went up 8lb for landing a Leopardstown handicap in March but has continued in good form while Le Correzien, a winner in France in August last year, will be better for last month's comeback here. An Epic Song has been quite highly tried since landing a Galway maiden while BREAD AND BUTTER's close third behind Futurum Regem at Navan was boosted when the winner ran well in a much better race earlier this week. Helen Markham's charge gets the nod though with his yard in outstanding form Navan maiden winner Festival D'ex has to be on the shortlist. Any money for The Big Galloper should be noted.
