Finny Maguire, who had a first-day winner here on Monday, has ridden the last two winners of this for Dermot Weld and A SHIN KILDARE doesn't look to have much to do to make it a hat-trick. A $500,000 half-sister to five winners in the USA, she started favourite on her debut at the Curragh last month and though not running quite as well as expected she will have come on for the experience and the longer trip will suit. Easy Pass looks moderate though he wasn't suited by the heavy ground at Bellewstown while Three Star General was behind the selection at the Curragh and has been beaten subsequently. Nina Carberry's mount Sweet Company has shown very little on the Flat or over jumps.
