King Blue is the only one of these to have won over the track and trip but he's done better over fences and has been struggling. Lets High Five It ran very well behind Tidy Zag at Limerick on Saturday though that was over the minimum trip and he hasn't quite delivered over this distance. CONNA CROSS is another who has produced his best form over shorter but he's been staying on quite nicely and this looks a good opportunity to lose his maiden tag in a very moderate contest. Gold Smoke could prove a threat as she performed with credit over the minimum at Thurles before finding three miles just too far at Limerick at the weekend. Time And Times was in touch when falling at Down Royal last week and gets a quick opportunity to gain compensation.
