Good World won a 2m1f handicap on heavy going here in May and very nearly followed up over the minimum at Punchestown a few days later. He's progressive but could do with some rain. ROYAL RECITAL has been in excellent form since changing stables and was always travelling nicely over this trip at Limerick. He can defy a 5lb rise though there are plenty of dangers including course and distance winner China Princess and the maiden Belles Benefit, who ran her best race to date at Kilbeggan last time. Westernerona showed marked improvement to land a Downpatrick handicap and though 5lb higher is probably still on a fair mark.
