Verdict

Mark Johnston is attempting to strike while the iron is hot with BELOW ZERO. The four-year-old is in the form of his life and had a bit in hand when making all at Leopardstown last week. Fallon is likely to adopt similar front-running tactics here and the top weight can defy his penalty. Grissom has already won three times this season and is chasing a hat-trick after scoring over a slightly longer trip here last month when Docofthebay was a close-up third. Tim Easterby's charge is now on a career-high mark, however. Fathsta hinted at a revival at York last time and will be suited by this intermediate distance, but it may be too far for Kanaf and Swiss Franc. Fireback could be the pick of the remainder in a first-time visor.
