A competitive Grade 3 contest in which none are dismissed. Solness concedes weight to his rivals and was outpointed in both summer starts by Hercule Du Seuil. Mighty Tom has a strong claim if transferring his hurdling ability to fences and Lucid Dreams is respected on his two chase efforts to date. Power Of Pause, a winner on fencing debut at Listowel, is the chosen representative of the Willie Mullins team and Perceval Legallois and Senecia also boast solid claims but the choice is LETSBECLEARABOUTIT. A useful hurdler, he made a really smooth fencing debut at Gowran Park and looks the sort to develop into a quality chaser.
