AP McCoy rides Ebazan for Conor O'Dwyer but has mount doesn't have the form for this. He was a long way behind Spacious Sky when the latter was a disappointing favourite at Naas last month and Black Zero, who finished in front of them both, looks to have a better chance. However, he was a long way behind DANEQUEST at Limeick earlier and Rodger Sweeney's charge can defy an 8lb rise if in the same mood. Concrete And Clay hasn't won since last January but is still 7lb higher in the ratings. Castletown Bridge had little chance at the weights at Cheltenham last time and this is much more his level.
