Agus A Vic scored at Tramore last month with the re-opposing FEVER PITCH not far behind in second. That was the latter's first run since May and, given he's won on fast ground before, he's fancied to turn the tables and come out best here. Clicksnmortar will find this tougher off an 8lb higher mark having won at Wexford in July and will do well to confirm superiority with runner-up Bundle Of Fun, who has since finished ahead of That Beats Banaher. Imperial Shabra and Raz De Maree could both figure if back to their best.
