This was run on fast ground last June and Ado McGuinness was successful. He has three runners here with Casanova and Godhead having had prep runs at Dundalk since arriving from John Gosden's yard. Maker Of Kings was conceding Teed Up 2lb when beating him just over a length on ground with some give at Tipperary and this pair looks to have good chances though the vote goes to FAME AND ACCLAIM. Joseph O'Brien's charge completed a double last summer when landing a handicap over the track and trip and will have been sharpened up with last month's run at Dundalk. He holds Layfayette on an earlier Cork 1-2 while Comfort Line was in good form on heavy ground at the backend of last year.
