Jack Kennedy was on board when Gold Class finished a decent third at Down Royal and his mount should go close again from the same mark. Pace And Passion has yet to win a race but steps back up to what should be her best trip while Personal Shopper, whose strike-rate of 1-41 hardly inspires confidence, has her regular rider on board and ran well at Downpatrick last time. Beautiful Ben hasn't done so well after his maiden victory but AFRAM BLUE showed that there was a race of this nature in him when returning from a break to finish a good fourth at Wexford and Shane Shortall is very good value for his claim.
