FormscanBy Donal Murphy - MOLLY WEDGER has a fine record at Tramore and should go close for local trainer Dermot O'Brien. A dual course winner and second in this very race twelve months ago, the eight-year-old has already won twice this summer. She was seventh of 20 on her most recent start at Galway and will carry just 10-2 here with Joanna Walton taking a valuable 7lb off. The Willie Mullins trained Kottayam, who is a half-brother to Listed winner Invite, is given second preference. An easy winner of a bumper at Kilbeggan in April of last year, he then finished second in a winners contest and returns now after a lengthy absence. Maxine O'Sullivan has won this race the last two years in-a-row and she has been booked to ride three-time winner Russian Diamond. The Emmet Mullins trained gelding failed to make a significant impact at the Galway Festival and starts off on the level now. Third and fifth twelve months ago, Buttons And Bows and Duc D'allier are others that warrant respect.
