One Boy isn't a prolific winner but enjoys a stiff uphill climb which is presumably why Paul Midgley has sent him here and Pat Smullen is a very positive booking. But he's up against several in-form rivals especially DOONARD PRINCE, who has made virtually all in huge fields over 6f at the Curragh in his last two starts. He hasn't run over this trip since 2013 but this track should suit and an 8lb rise doesn't look enough to prevent a hat-trick. Count Of Carabass produced two fine runs at Limerick, scoring over 6f then finishing runner-up over an extra furlong. He'll be at home in the conditions and looks certain to go well while Future Icon looked on excellent terms with himself when comfortably landing a course and distance handicap from Battleroftheboyne a couple of weeks ago. Enter The Red is another dropping back in trip after scoring over 6f at Fairyhouse and, though he's on his highest-ever mark, Tom Madden's claim will again aid his cause.
