Tom's Article won on good going at Navan last year but disappointed when last seen in October and has a bit to prove now. Landecker was more like his old self when second at Kelso while Shammick Boy is back in the right grade after trying his luck in a Grade 3 at The Festival. Tantamount is a course and distance winner and would have each-way claims but Tanerko Emery only won a seller at Ffos Las and may not be the force of old. FOXTAIL HILL will have to settle better than at Ludlow three weeks ago to stay this longer trip but he's lightly-raced and probably has more scope than the others - he gets a tentative vote as his stable usually target this meeting.
