FormscanBy Mark Nunan - STAR OF CASHEL won three in a row last summer, including over course and distance on heavy ground, and has returned in good shape this term. Fourth in the Irish Lincoln, he followed that with a good third at Naas and the two horses immediately behind him that day have won since. Comfort Line (now 3lbs worse off) was half a length in front of the selection at the Curragh and this is more like his level than the Group Three he contested last time. Maud Gonne Spirit may be a lot sharper for her comeback run last week and was twice a winner over this trip on testing ground last year, while conditions will also suit Galtee Mist who’s had a recent run and represents an in-form yard.%0A%0A
