Verdict

Cobblers Cove was going on strongly at the finish over 6f at Naas so has to be respected but Engage The Dance looked suited by soft ground at Sligo and conditions will be very different here. Kalacan has won once in 52 starts and though he came close to doubling his tally at Bellewstown a 3lb rise won't help his cause. Fleet Captain appears to be better over 6f so it's ART SCENE, who gained a smooth victory at Tipperary when Ghost Of A Girl finished 3l third, who can follow-up despite an 11lb rise in the ratings.
