Muntahez could only run on at one pace when tackling this trip for the first time at Navan after a much better run here. Kinch was well supported for a Gowran handicap but didn't get the best of runs and can do better though Ger Lyons has another chance with Dreamboat Dave, who also found trouble in-running when well supported at Dundalk. He finished two lengths behind Lyrical Attraction but can turn the tables on the winner at the revised weights. Esprit de Lumiere has twice finished behind Lyrical Attraction recently though there's little between them but the vote, in an open contest, goes to the unexposed PEARL WARRIOR, who didn't quite get home over 1m4f at Leopardstown after looking the likely winner at this trip.
