ECCLESIASTICAL has gradually improved since arriving from the UK and makes a quick reappearance after finishing second over an extended 5f at Navan on Thursday. He was always up with the pace that day and is tried in a first-time visor. Joseph O'Brien has two entries with Shooting Spirit, who looked to be travelling well at Navan before fading up the hill, likely to be much better suited by this easier track. Musical Rue has been showing good pace without finding much at the business end but had Cyan Seize well behind at Bellewstown last time. Best Ever More is a half-brother to a USA Grade 1 winner and four other winners and wouldn't need to be special to make a successful debut.
