Sizing Platinum drops in class on his return to action having failed to figure behind the useful Don’t Touch It at Punchestown in April. MATORICO has the more recent form and a repeat of his third at Carlisle in August off a 5lb higher mark should see Jonjo O’Neill’s charge go close in this. Ut Majeur Aulmes scored over track and trip last year and, having subsequently slipped back down the weights, Vic Dartnell’s charge is preferred to both De Faoithesdream and Un Beau Roman.
