Pyramid Place won’t lack for fitness and could go well at a price on his best form. Tronador has contested a couple of decent staying handicaps on the Flat since his third at Bellewstown and won earlier on the level at Limerick. Anyharminasking still has time on his side while Lallygag, having only his second run in a handicap, won three times as a novice last season and finished well ahead of the subsequent Aintree winner Boombawn at Cheltenham in April. Considering he was hampered at a crucial stage, SONIGINO (NAP) did well to finish third in a Grade 3 at Aintree in the spring. Twice a winner over 2m here around this time last year, he may still be a step ahead of the handicapper. Sign From Above won on the Flat at the Galway Festival and followed up over hurdles at Navan so looks a danger while recent Perth winner Uncle Bert hails from a yard in cracking form. Twinjets was a progressive novice last season, as was Blow Your Wad.
