Verdict
ACES AND KINGS has thrived since returning to quicker ground and a 7lb rise for an easy victory here last month doesn't look enough to prevent a hat-trick. Raajih won a beginners chase on quick ground here in August and has done well since with his latest effort in a very tough Punchestown handicap being a very strong performance. Baily Dusk pulled up in that latter race while Ballysteen comfortably landed a beginners event at Thurles in March before falling at the second last at Tramore where he looked held.
