A couple of these failed to show the improvement expected at Kilbeggan last time. Grozni finished a well-beaten third over a longer trip while Kendancer never threatened when fourth over 2m but FANCY A COSMO posted his best effort so far when third at Cork and may prove the one to side with given the runner-up has subsequently boosted the form. Coastguard Station also fared better at Sligo recently but bumper winner Sweet Flight debuts for new connections on his first outing since 2018.
