THE EYES HAVE IT makes a quick reappearance after coming with a late run to score over 7f at Naas on Sunday and Andy Oliver's progressive charge can defy a 6lb rise and complete a double over the extra furlong. Expreso Brasileiro signalled that a victory was imminent when just beaten over 6f at Naas and duly obliged with an easy victory over slightly further at Roscommon. He's another improver who should be suited by stepping up in distance though he's been raised a massive 11lb. Snakes And Ladders likes testing ground which he appears unlikely to get here but the track and trip should suit Morselle and she'd be a danger at her best. Plough Boy won three times on fast ground during the summer and shouldn't be dismissed despite a steep rise in the weights.
