Sweet Sting completed a track and trip double in autumn 2020 but was struggling over the winter. Winning point-to-pointer A DIFFERENT WORLD (NAP) scored over 2m4f at Sligo in October and has twice finished runner-up at this trip this year. He's 9lb higher than that victory but looks ready to go in again. No Thanks, a winner over 2m1f at Bellewstown in August, was a close third over 2m3f at Naas in March but hasn't proved he stays this far, nor has Highland Penny, a close second over 2m4f at Cork and unsuited by heavy ground on a return visit. Roped In has run some very good races on heavy ground so could do with more rain.
