Woodbrook Boy scored over the course and distance on his reappearance but has struggled from his raised mark. Yulong Voice was beaten 14l lengths that day but has made better progress than the winner and followed his victory at Killarney with a head defeat at Bellewstown. DEFINITEADARE was in good form in the spring and returning from a break when a close fifth at Roscommon last month. With that under his belt, he can return to winning ways. Both Cahirdown Boy and Shannon Gray performed with credit here earlier in the week while Fleurys Fort is 5lb lower than his last victory just over a year ago and can reach the frame. Falco Du Sauzay should be suited by the longer trip after staying on over 2m1f at Bellewstown.
