Verdict

Few turn up on the back of a strong performances but top weight GORDON BENNETT an obvious exception. The gelding quickened up stylishly to oblige over this trip and ground at Naas and this looks a similar task, despite the handicapper hiking him up 7lb. Superior Force, taking on his elders for the first time, was three lengths behind the selection at Naas but looks the danger as he's 8lb better off and Rossa Ryan is an eye-catching booking. Miss Molly has been steadily coming to the boil this term and looks ready to strike sometime soon down to a workable mark of 69 while Amazing Emma has place claims from the lower reaches of the weights.
