made all, unchallenged
tracked leaders in 3rd, went 2nd before 6 out, no impression
tracked winner until before 6 out, soon weakened

Got The Nac scored over track and trip in December and should go well again but PAIN AU CHOCOLAT looks to have the stronger form. Dan Skelton's charge turned over odds-on shot and subsequent winner Aso when landing a Class 2 event at Haydock last time and is clear of today's opposition at the weights. Captain Hox has plenty to find with the selection on Haydock form and has fallen at Leopardstown subsequently while Quick Decisson has it all to do on these terms.
