FormscanBy Michael Graham - CILAOS EMERY is hard to oppose with an official rating of 160. He has won four of his nine chases and has been runner-up in another two. This former Grade 2 winner was last seen finishing a neck behind Samcro in a Grade 3 at Killarney in May when attempting to make all. Similar forcing tactics should reap a reward on this step up in trip. He has won off a break before. Darver Star is rated 11lb inferior yet only receives 3lb under the terms of this race, so it is a stiff task for him. He has had an outing this season so is match fit, albeit he fell at the second last in a Grade 3 at Naas this month. Knock On Steel and Mamaslittlestar have been astutely placed to pick up prize money.
