Make A Challenge, a five-times winner on the track, was narrowly beaten in this last year despite missing the break. However, he couldn't match strides with Gustavus Weston here in May and was beaten a long way when LOGO HUNTER landed a Naas Listed contest with Romantic Proposal also behind. The winner then followed up at the same level at Cork, with subsequent winner Erosandpsyche in third, and can take this step-up in class in his stride. Mooneista was narrowly beaten by the selection in a Cork handicap in April and is better off at the weights while Measure Of Magic beat Michael Browne's stable star at Navan when receiving 5lb though the latter has made great strides since.
