Swiss Cottage looks up against it but the rest can be given a chance of sorts. Lethal Power and Magnetic North are recent maiden winners handicapping for the first time while Night Of Power went close at Navan on his handicap debut. Active Approach hasn’t won anywhere yet but was runner-up in a decent contest at Down Royal last week while Bucky Larson steps up in trip bidding for a hat-trick after landing a double over a mile at Leopardstown. But another chance goes to LUCIUS TIBERIUS dropping down in class after struggling in the King George V Stakes at Ascot last time given he finished third in a similar contest to this at Leopardstown before that.
