Fleurys Fort stepped up to this trip at Clonmel last week and was only headed in the closing stages after looking the likely winner at the last. I Will Follow won comfortably over 2m4f at Wexford but has further to travel and a 10lb rise to contend with. Alaliya needed every yard of the 3m1f at Ballinrobe when he caught LET'S TWIST AGAIN on the post. The latter has yet to win but is getting better with each run so can reverse the form and take this. Bronco Bill is also a maiden who has yet to prove he stays this far but Silver Planeur ploughed through the mud to win here on Sunday and has to be considered from a 5lb higher mark.
