Conor Hogan was always up with the pace and was only beaten narrowly in a tight finish over this trip at Leopardstown though he wouldn't want any more rain. EL TREN came good at this time last year, scoring on this track, and last week's run at Roscommon will have sharpened him up for this. Bright Flame was having only his seventh start when scoring over 2m at Tramore and, though 9lb higher, there's plenty more to come. Final Endeavour has never won but has run very well over 1m4f at Leopardstown the last twice. Differentiate has had a couple of runs over hurdles since a narrow defeat over 1m6f at Killarney while Dashing Diamond ran easily the best race of her career when staying on strongly in the second division of the latter race.
