Dance Alone, Reddot Express, Evies Wish, Aubineau and Time Stands Still were all engaged to run here yesterday evening. The latter was only a reserve so unlikely to get a run and she's been going well enough in similar company to be given a chance on ground that suits. AVALANCHE (NAP) was returning from a long break when running well at Tipperary earlier this month. He completed a double on fast going last summer and with conditions in his favour he looks ready to strike again. Mcguigan gained the only two victories of his career on good going at Leopardstown though that was in 2016 but UK winner Diable d'Or can do better now back on Turf. Bien Chase generally finishes with a flourish without getting there but can snatch a place again.
