Product Of Love has answered every question posed to date and made a winning start in this sphere in a decent Killarney contest last month, however the likely ground does present an unknown factor in the equation. MONTANA BELLE made a winning to her chasing career at Galway last week on soft ground over a longer trip and Henry De Bromhead's mare should have more to offer, ensuring she earns the vote. Landofhopeandglory was right in contention at Galway when coming down last time and, despite Geraghty looking elsewhere, isn't to be discounted hastily. The other McManus-owned runner Rock On Fruity is in fine form but this trip could prove sharp enough.
