CORBALLY CROSS is of strong interest now handicapping in a race of this nature. Indeed, the 6-y-o was successful between the flags during the spring and has since shown clear signs of ability in three qualifying runs in this sphere. He may have most to fear from Technology, but don't rule out a bold show from Blossom de Mai, who was also a point winner earlier this year and this trip is more suitable than the one she tackled at Kilbeggan a fortnight ago.
