Most of these are open to improvement now handicapping but LASMUIGH has already contested a nursery here when only going down by a neck over this trip. That represented a major improvement on three previous starts which were followed by a gelding operation which looks to have had a positive effect. He's 4lb higher now but should still go close. Camilla Gherardini was a respectable fourth behind the selection here and improved again when a Sligo runner-up and should prove competitive off the same mark. Kodi Noir is harder to assess but Reinforce is proving consistent so makes the shortlist.
