Several are upped in class on the back of winning. That list includes Lakemilan, who scored over a shorter trip here, while Deans Road scored at Tipperary last month and Internal Transfer ended last season with a double though is 9lb higher on his return. Rock The World and Ballyoisin wear the McManus colours for different yards with the latter preferred on last year’s Grade 2 success at Navan but THE WEST’S AWAKE is also at home at this level. He doesn’t arrive in the best of form but Edward O’Grady’s charge was vying for the lead when falling at the last fence in this last year and should make another bold with a clear round.
