Most of these are well acquainted. Jon Riggens won over the minimum trip at Navan with Tawaazon, last year’s runner-up Mickey The Steel and Heavenly Power all behind. Hurricane Ivor scored over track and trip last month when beating Swift Flight, Laugh A Minute and Gustavus Weston while Dandyville just got the better of Dream Today when completing a hat-trick with a victory at Naas. But a chance is taken on STAG NIGHT, who won his only start of last year when scoring over course and distance on his handicap debut and can race off a 2lb lower mark on his return.
