A very low-grade affair with few in form or having scope. Patience Miner is only five and might improve though he appeared to enjoy stepping up to 3m last time. Captains And Kings produced his one decent run over timber when tackling this trip at Sligo though that was on good ground and like Lost Book, who is on a long losing run, he's blinkered for the first time. Happy As Larry had looked a future winner when a close third at Limerick in May and didn't give his true running a couple of weeks later on this track so he's expected to do better. MOSSY ISLAND had subsequent winner Balofilo, who runs earlier, just over a length behind when scoring over 2m1f here last month. He didn't run as well on his next start at Down Royal but his overall form entitles him to the vote here.
