CLONGOWES has the best form on offer in this contest and can get off the mark at the seventh time of asking dropping 2f in trip today. Jim Bolger's charged chased home Belgravia (runs in the previous race on this card) at Leopardstown earlier this month and can defeat Spiral Galaxy who shaped as if a step up in trip would suit when finishing fourth over 1m at Dundalk last week. Of the remainder Spanish Steps ran a better race than appears to be the case having been short of room at a crucial point on debut at Leopardstown in October and he can take third in this.
