CHERRY BLOSSOM is clearly held in high regard having been sent off favourite when fourth in a listed event at Naas on debut last month and looks the one to beat down in class. Chicago Fireball was flying too high in a Group 3 at Leopardstown but he's more than capable of winning one of these, while Mr Saturday is another to consider having shown plenty when runner-up in maidens at Naas and this C&D.
