Koybig makes a quick reappearance after a moderate run over 1m2f at Leopardstown on Thursday and tackles this trip for the first time. Secundos Out was beaten a very long way into fourth at Galway and has been looking very one-paced but Three Colours Red has been staying on over slightly shorter so could get into contention if the ground eases. PINCODE made all and battled on strongly for his victory at Bellewstown last month and Fran Berry is likely to make this a real test. He has to concede a few pounds to For Goodness Sake, whose victory over Faseeha at Wexford could be given a boost in the previous race, but he can continue his upward curve and complete a double.
