Race preview
At first glance, it may seem that IMPOSING SUPREME needs to go right-handed given his record at Galway and last month's victory at Ballinrobe but his record over C&D belies that. The six-year-old has been placed on all three visits to Killarney and has twice been beaten less than a length. Tom Gibney's good servant can go close despite a 6lb hike for his latest success. Giuseppe Cassioli has only run three times on turf in 25 career starts but his third at Naas was encouraging and his rider's 7lb claim will be a big help. Pierre Lapin has a big chance on his fourth of 27 in a very valuable handicap at the Curragh in May. Hale Bopp didn't build on his Naas win last time but coming back to 1m will suit.
