Padre Tito would have claims in this on his second to Southfield Theatre at Wincanton a year ago, though he hasn't raced since December. Changeofluck needs a turnaround in fortunes having finished second in three of his last four starts but Tara Road is interesting having finished fifth over track and trip in March. Cusheen Bridge and Lightentertainment have been in good form recently but both are climbing the weights. RASCAL needs to learn to settle but there has been promise in both starts over timber and he doesn't look badly treated on his handicap debut. He has more scope than Coup De Grace. Broughtons Warrior and Money For Nothing could be best of the rest.
