MOLLY WEDGER has been hit hard by the handicapper for last month's C&D success, but she could hardly have been more impressive and may well go in again. Saol Iontach is more than capable of playing a leading role off this mark, but it's hard to ignore the fact that she's 0-17 over hurdles and Clonbury Bridge, who is clearly going the right way, is feared most. Supreme Vinnie also has claims.
