Captain Cee Bee is approaching his teenage years but shows little sign of slowing down and gained the 13th victory of his career in similar grade at Tipperary last month. Incredibly, he's stepping up in trip for the first time on his 32nd start but still has the class to make the frame. Dedigout's last run over timber resulted in a Grade 1 success at Punchestown last April and he's been a little disappointing over fences. Mala Beach looked a tremendous prospect when beating the useful Defy Logic over this trip at Fairyhouse in March and Gordon Elliott will have him straight but stablemate Un Beau Matin may do better when sent over fences. Jetson is very useful on his day but is taking on high-class opposition and it's RULE THE WORLD, runner-up to The New One at Cheltenham and an impressive winner on his return to action at Naas, who looks the one to beat.
