Jim Bolger has won this three times in the past four years so Teochrios, who beat Hangar Five on fast ground at Fairyhouse before a poor run on soft going at Tipperary, should give a good account though the latter would enter the equation if getting a run from his reserve spot. Blue Ridge Lane went up 6lb for beating Armed Guard at Fairyhouse and was staying on strongly at the finish over a slightly shorter trip at Limerick. He's found his form and looks a big threat to all though it's REFRACTOR who gets the vote. Three times a winner at around this trip at Kempton for Michael Bell, he's having his first run over the distance for Denis Hogan and was noted staying on strongly over 1m2f here last time. The three-year-old Punta Marroqui hasn't had much racing but looks ready to win soon judging by her two latest runs while Willie Mullins' lightly-raced hurdler Alileo is one to keep an eye on for the future.
