Suttons Hill has been consistent enough, though may be better over further, while Neveradullmoment is 0-10 and has been a beaten favourite in his last three starts. Double Pink made most and kept on strongly over 2m at Tramore so the longer trip shouldn't be a problem. TROUBLED TIMES, a winning bumper, is probably fortunate to get away with a mark of 109 after completing a double at Naas when returning from a long break so looks the one to beat though none can be dismissed.
