Eagle Crag showed little in two bumpers but did very well when narrowly beaten over 1m6f at Gowran though this looks on the short side. Leaderboard has been staying on well and could probably do with further so FIGHTFORTHEROSES looks the one to beat. His last two runs have been on very testing ground and today's conditions should see him in a better light. Crecerelle has been disappointing and refused to enter the stalls at Tipperary a few weeks ago but Media City is likely to improve for his recent run at Listowel.
