Pi Ahio is interesting having won three times over fences in France. All's Quiet hasn't been able to find a finishing burst but should be suited by the longer trip while Old Castletown, though better over fences, reverts to hurdles on a much lower mark and a long absence may not be too much of a problem. PADRAIC O CONAIRE has done much better since stepping up in trip, scoring over 2m4f at Listowel and Sligo. He'll be even better suited here and can go in again. Touch Base continues to improve and battled on to land a maiden over the trip at Downpatrick so has to be considered on his handicap debut.
