CUSHINSTOWN FINEST added another good effort to his tally when third at Wexford 3 weeks ago and with consistency counting for plenty at this level, he gets the vote. Ask Cory is capable of winning a race like this if keeping his customary errors down to a minimum, with Double Windsor also of interest.
