Potential supporters of CLOSESTHINGTOCRAZY should watch out for the run of City Hustler earlier in the card as Tom Taaffe's charge wasn't far behind him at Gowran last time when Barry Geraghty was again in the plate. The combination can go in here though Scenic Bay should go well as he returned to form with a fine second to Bonifacio at Sligo last time. Yachvili is 10lbs higher than when landing a similar race here in May and may need a few pounds off but a bigger threat may come from Muzak, who was touched off in the closing stages by Prosperity Square at Sligo and hasn't had much racing. Lasse Viern scored over a longer trip here last May but hasn't been in that kind of form subsequently.
