Flynsini is the only one of these to have won around here and he's 12lb lower than his last victory though that was over two years ago. WELL JOEY completed a double in the spring and won again on his reappearance at Ballinrobe. He wasn't at his best next time but a spin over hurdles at Down Royal last month will have put him spot-on for this. My Manekineko is consistent enough but has never won in 18 starts over fences but Roxboro Road would have a chance on his victory at Leopardstown in March though he hasn't had much luck lately. Chavi Artist hasn't reached a place in six starts over fences.
