Yuften had been cleaning up in claiming races at Dundalk before a decent run at Leopardstown though he was behind Laughifyouwant, who only just failed to make all. There's an extra furlong to race here but Colin Keane will probably ride with more restraint and his mount should last home. However, the vote goes to RED TEA (NAP), who was having his first start for Joseph O'Brien since arriving from the UK when staying on strongly over 7f at Gowran last month and this is his trip. Ahlan Bil Zain has been in fine form at Dundalk but has never won on Turf while Marlborough Sounds, though reasonably treated, has proved better over much further. Vocal Music won here in August and, though 14lb higher, won again at Navan in October.
