Quartetto has been running well over fences and arrives here on a 10lb lower mark so has to be on the short-list. Passing Through is still a maiden after 18 starts over hurdles but has some strong form to his credit and it would be no shock to see him involved. Henrietta's Way made all at Limerick then didn't appear to stay 2m4f at Cork and can do better over today's trip but WHATDREAMSRMADEOF looks the one to be on. She was handed an 8lb rise for scoring over track and trip a month ago and though unable to cope at Gowran that was a better race than this and she can get back to winning ways. Stop The Clock showed a modicum of ability on her debut at Navan and that was enough to see her very well supported at Thurles a month ago where she comfortably landed a maiden. There's more to come and she looks the main threat.
