A few in with chances but SEARCH FOR A MYTH took another step forward when finishing runner-up at Clonmel 9 weeks ago and she's fancied to go one better here and open her account. Naturally Blond caused a shock when taking this contest last year, so provided he's ready to roll, he's put forward as the main danger from a 1 lb lower mark. Miala Araya and Rule of June are another couple worth considering.
