Verdict
Key Account bounced off the fast ground here last time to record a very easy victory. That was over an extra two furlongs and he's been hit with a 9lb rise but it will be a surprise if he's not involved in the finish. Cloudy Morning was beaten 18l into third that day and can hardly be expected to gain revenge though the shorter trip will be in his favour. He had Couleur De La Loi over 9l behind at Clonmel in May but the latter should get much closer at the revised weights. Ta Blazes runs the occasional good race and is at the right end of the weights but it's about time CATCHIN TIME was winning and his close second to Noble Call at Ballinrobe in April would just about be good enough.
