Antiphony was receiving 2lb from Oighear Dubh when beaten a couple of lengths over hurdles at KIlbeggan last month but has the benefit of a previous run over fences having finished runner-up at Sligo last month and can reverse the places. Winning bumper GONE PLATINUM is only moderate over hurdles though arrives in good heart having finished runner-up in a big field at Gowran. He's bred for chasing and can make a successful transition, though Finding Touch looks a threat. He's only a four-year-old and made a pleasing start over fences here last month having scored over timber at Clonmel - with his age allowance, he should get into contention.
