Zero Euro won this last year when the ground was very testing but she's been in decent form in similar company recently including at Sligo. King Christophe was behind him in that event and is running poorly but My Painter, who has never won on the Flat, returned to a bit of form in a similar race at Fairyhouse. SPECIFIC GRAVITY had been running reasonably well in handicaps before finishing fourth in the Sligo claimer in which Zero Euro was runner-up. He reverted to Polytrack at Dundalk for an easy victory last week and now back in form looks the one to beat.
