Kannoor is due to go up 2lb after a much-improved third over a longer trip at Killarney and Scott McCullagh takes off a further 5lb. Hurricane Alex finished ahead of Pak Army when fourth at Galway but was behind Ivy Avenue at Roscommon 10 days ago. The latter would have been the selection had Jim Bolger’s stable been in better form. The maiden Duck And Vanish could figure if cheekpieces bring about some improvement as he was second twice over this trip in the UK when trained by William Haggas but the step up in trip should suit MADE FOR MINDS. Lightly raced, the latter is out of a Listed winner who won over 1m4f and he was an eye-catcher last time at Leopardstown when a place ahead of a subsequent winner.
