Extensio scored over track and trip last summer and was 9lb higher when winning again at the Curragh last month. He's up 5lb but his rider can claim an extra 3lb here. Blackpoint couldn't quite get past Five Zeros at Tipperary when conceding 6lb and Shane Foley takes over from an amateur but this looks another opportunity for WOJOOD. From a yard in excellent form, he followed his victory over hurdles at Ballinrobe with another over this trip at Tramore and can defy an 8lb rise. The consistent Storm Steps wasn't far behind Blackpoint at Tipperary and is likely to be thereabouts again as is L'Un Deux Trois, a winner at Limerick in June.
