Cadmium has won four times over fences and looked better than ever when landing a Grade 3 over 2m2f here last month. He also won a major handicap over this trip here in April though has to concede weight to in-form rivals. Stable companion VOIX DU REVE had been going well over hurdles before making all for a very impressive victory over Mind's Eye at Galway. The runner-up boosted the form at Wexford next time but appears unlikely to reverse the form. Hardline won a Grade 2 over timber at Naas in February and could hardly have won more easily on his chasing debut at Fairyhouse. He looks a cracking prospect and won't go down without a fight while Kildorrery has the advantage of a course and distance victory on his debut over fences though will need to raise his game against these.
