Insignia Of Rank landed a tough Curragh handicap in style, when Massif Central was behind, but couldn't make the step-up to Listed company on a return visit. Inscribe enjoyed the step-up to 1m5f at Navan where he got up close home and is only 2lb higher so has to be respected though HASANABAD looks the type for this. He only won a Tipperary maiden last time and was earlier 4l behind Whirling Dervish at Gowran but he's 12lb better off with the latter and looks to have made the greater progress. Gasta has only won twice in 28 starts but has gone well over the trip on soft ground and isn't without a chance.
