KILLYGLEN was well beaten over hurdles last time but finished third to Cappa Bleu in a handicap chase at Haydock before that. A repeat of that penultimate start should be good enough here as In Compliance is struggling to find his best and Psycho has done all his winning over much shorter trips. The latter could still go close if lasting home on the evidence of January's fourth behind Blazing Tempo at Fairyhouse, while Yes Tom should give a good account having scored over 2m4f at Ayr earlier this year.
