Court Tycoon has been running well in handicaps over this trip and would have a chance on his second to Aspen Colorado at Carlisle. Inca Gold makes a quick reappearance after a winning debut for Joseph O'Brien at Gowran where he defied several mistakes. His stable also run Jack Dillinger, an easy winner of a Clonmel maiden but yet to prove he stays this far. Jack Fiasco stepped up to 3m to finish a close second in a Punchestown handicap so will need a strong gallop but ECLAT DES MOTTES looked one to follow when landing a Downpatrick maiden on his debut for Willie Mullins and will take some beating.
