River Of Intrigue represents last year's winning stable. He's nothing special on breeding and partnered by an inexperienced claimer but should still be prominent in a race that won’t take much winning. Admiral Kid was staying on in a point-to-point at Rathcannon in September but may find this an insufficient test of stamina. TENGRI is a half-brother to two Flat winners and the four-year-old is taken to have too much speed for his rivals if handling the ground.
