MOLLY KAYE has been in winning form over hurdles and has won on the Flat from a higher mark so gets the vote in a very tight handicap. Call Me Dolly went up 8lb for her victory at Thurles and was only just denied at Leopardstown while Grace To Grace was denied a clear run here last time though has now been a beaten favourite in her last three starts. Ally Cay has been running well but is 16lb higher than her latest victory and Sil Ver Klass looks to have more of a chance. Tony Martin's charge had been chasing before scoring over 1m6f at Navan and though runner-up Arcland is slightly better off at the weights the winner led at this trip and can confirm the form.
