Pozyc bounced back to form with a fine effort behind stablemate Sweet My Lord at Cork when He'llberemembered was back in third. The latter looks held on today's terms though the form looks strong as the winner has run very well this week. Four Chimneys beat the classy Luska Lad in a version of this a year ago and though tailed off on his return to action at Navan earlier this month should be spot-on for a repeat and is on the short-list though Dibella, who finished an excellent third in that Navan event, is a progressive youngster on a fair mark. Viaduct Joey is also an improving type who found 3m too far last time but Battling Boru will find this tough with a penalty for his recent Navan victory. In a very tough contest, CAPELLANUS is given the vote on his first start over the trip as he ran a superb race behind Dare To Doubt here last time after scoring at Galway in October.
