Golan Guy and Priors Gold have both won over hurdles recently and the latter comes out best on that score, but it's likely the three-year-olds will prove too good here. El Gran Torino has something to prove over today's trip and Enchanted Forest looked no nearer to winning when stepped up to this distance last time. Uncut Stone is less exposed and open to improvement after his latest start at Down Royal where he finished a length behind runner-up It's Freezing. The latter had previously been beaten nine lengths by TANTALISING when David Wachman's filly made her debut at Leopardstown and on that form she looks capable of opening her account here.
