BIG CHALLENGE (NAP) won a Sligo claimer last month and though well beaten into third at Bellewstown was carrying a huge weight and should have the legs of these. Stable companion Approach The City won one of these at Dundalk but hasn't done so well subsequently so the main threat is likely to come from Sheila, a winner for Hugo palmer at Chelmsford and now with a trainer who does well in these races. Collaborating is taking a drop in grade and looks best of the remainder.
