Sholsang ran well in a similar race here last month and will prove popular in the betting while Kelly's Birr caught the eye at Limerick last weekend and there should be more to come from the mare but RUN FOR PAT has proven form on the board and he continues in the blinkers he sported when finished runner-up at Tipperary last time. So Ladylike makes a belated debut under Rules having scored on three occasions between the flags while Copper Point went for serious money as a yearling but never raced for Godolphin and is fitted with a tongue-tie today having only placed in a bumper so far.
