The top four are penalised for bumper victories and True Destiny for scoring on the Flat. Devil's Cut was beaten a distance on his hurdling bow at Naas but Imperial Ruler was impressive at Tipperary, overcoming trouble in-running to win comfortably. Perceval Legallois looked as though he needed further at Naas though conditions will be in his favour while The Banger Doyle could also find this on the short side. Arlo only faded on the run-in at Naas last month, his second start after almost a year off, but Fiston De Becon's recent good run was in a bumper. WRECKING BALL PAUL made a very encouraging debut behind the odds-on Global Export at Navan and in receipt of the age allowance looks the one to beat.
