Indian File has looked in need of a longer trip though the testing conditions should bring his stamina into play. Theos Well has twice finished behind the useful Rathvinden recently and with nothing of his calibre in the line-up he's expected to go close. THE MIGHTY MILAN has run in better races and though disappointing when strongly fancied at Fairyhouse his overall form entitles him to the vote. After a couple of fine runs, Red Road was well supported at Fairyhouse but appeared to find the 2m4f too tough.
