Beau Et Sublime had just a neck to spare over The Herds Garden at Down Royal and the latter can take his revenge on the revised terms despite falling on this track subsequently. HERON HEIGHTS beat The Herds Garden 6l at Kilbeggan in May before beaten in a much better race there last month and is taken to bounce back. Myles Ahead scored at Clonmel on just his second start over fences before jumping poorly in a tough handicap here earlier this month. Marvellous Moment has had plenty of opportunities and failed to take them though he appeared to find some improvement in a Killarney handicap last time and would be difficult to beat in that kind of form.
