FormscanBy Michael Graham - There is no doubting that CAESAR'S COMET is attractively weighted, so he is given the nod. With Joey Sheridan's 7lb claim factored in, he is effectively racing off a mark of 53 which ought to be within his compass. He was very well backed in Cork, under another 7lb claimer, to take advantage of the same rating and finished a close fourth, beaten just over a length. The horse a place in front of him has since won in a better grade. Silk Cravat was only caught close home on the Polytrack in Dundalk on Sunday. He competes off 9lb lower on turf, so has to be of interest with that good run under his belt. Palabres, in first-time blinkers, made all for victory in Leopardstown. She is 5lb higher but can attack from her draw in stall two. Her chance is respected. Accladora and Legendre are closely matched on their runs at Naas, when second and fifth respectively.
