Winning bumper and hurdler CILLIAN'S RETURN ran a cracking race when just touched off over a mile at Gowran last month so with this trip much more to his liking he should get off the mark under Flat rules. Lord Adare has also landed a bumper and scored over timber and looks a potentially decent chaser though he's failed to finish in his last two starts and may need this confidence booster. UK import Solent Lad has shown little for new connections over timber but Theos Well has shown ability and has a bumper victory to his credit.
