WHOSINTERVIEWINWHO left previous efforts behind when runner-up at Galway last month and with further progress in the pipeline, Andrew Slattery's colt can continue his yard's run of good form and get off the mark. Heading up the dangers is Sovreigns Joy, who emerged as the best horse at the weights when finding one too strong at Leopardstown recently, with Letmeentertainyou rounding off the shortlist.
