Les Arceaux was raised 6lb after getting of the mark at Gowran but is still one of the more likely winners of this. Avalanche was third at Listowel on his reappearance and should strip fitter today. Hard Times sprang a 33/1 surprise at Listowel earlier this month under Karen Kenny and Wild Shot would have a chance if on a going day. Loose Chippings was only third when favourite for a claimer at Fairyhouse, however, and has changed stables since. SLEEPY HEAD (NAP) was slowly away and then a little keen when second at Listowel earlier this month but she still finished a few of today’s rivals and can go one better today granted luck in-running.
