Bye Bye O Bye has been a revelation since returning from the point-to-point field scoring at Kilbeggan and Tramore, both on faster ground than he'll face here. He's 6lb higher than his last victory and providing the going doesn't become too testing should get into the firing line. Mic MIlano has proved himself best on ground with plenty of give and it was very testing when he battled to victory over 2m1f here last month. Rain would aid his cause though the vote goes to HIGHEST BENEFIT. He hadn't shown much until a much-improved run when stepping up to around this trip for the first time at Tipperary and finishing runner-up to Go It Alone. With further progress likely, he can go one better. The veteran Barney King has won over slightly shorter on the track from exactly the same mark so could go well at a fair price.
