Goal unshipped his rider after being hampered at Kilbeggan last time but has every chance on his earlier placed efforts. However, he may find it tough giving 8lb to OLD PRIDE. The latter has been threatening to break his duck with a couple of good recent efforts at Down Royal to his name and Tom Taaffe's charge can make amends after returning a losing favourite on his latest start. Spot Again, Honest John Martin, Bach To The Party and Elsie Freda all finished behind the selection last time and Westhaven's best recent form has been over the larger obstacles. Military Bowl is partnered by Ruby Walsh for his reappearance and is worth a second glance on that basis.
