This race could go to the same trainer has the last with AL MHI taken to land it for Johanna Morgan. The Gelding scored with loads in hand at Tipperary two starts back before running well from this mark at Dundalk last time so with nothing to prove on the surface this should be leg two of a successful double raid. Richo makes the list now he looks well weighted while Lunar River is 2lb better off than when a close enough third over course and distance in July. Nigel Tinkler's Tre Froide has claims if finding some improvement but this can go to Ireland and Al Mhi.
