The veteran Days Hotel landed a Grade 2 at Naas in February and has continued to perform at a very high level. Dylan Robinson's claim can help him go well while Neil Mullholland sends Baltimore Rock over from the UK and he's expected to produce a good run. Jarry D'honneur, a triple hurdles winner, hasn't done as well over fences in his last two starts after looking a decent prospect but Pairofbrowneyes continues to run well in strong company and it will be a surprise if he's not involved in the finish. BALL D'ARC was unlucky at Leopardstown last month when impeded at the last then failing to get a clear run. He's a progressive type who should prove better than a 133-rated handicapper in the future and this can prove within his capabilities. Dysios finished just in front of him in that latter event but doesn't have the selection's scope. Peoples Park was tried over three miles at Leopardstown after a comprehensive victory over this track and trip. He failed to stay but back over his correct distance can prove a threat.
