Loupgarou looked an improved sort when scoring on his penultimate outing under today's pilot but pulled up when next seen just 11 days later. He still has time on his side as a six-year-old and remains of interest. Officers Mess found life tougher off a higher mark last time and has it to do in conceding weight all round to some improving types, of which ZAGNZIG makes greatest appeal. The Smyth gelding was dramatically improved when landing a handicap at this venue in some style and is at the right end of the handicap to handle a 6lb rise for that success. Ballymadun shaped nicely last time and merits respect along with Blondes No More, still in contention when falling latest. Castle Howard is an intriguing candidate for Joseph O'Brien on this handicap bow, having shown promise in maiden hurdles and now tackling quicker ground for the first time in first-time tongue tie and cheekpieces.
