Just Likeold Times wasn't beaten far over 3m at Kilbeggan two weeks ago but was earlier behind Vincent at Fairyhouse and is 4lb higher. Maighnealta has to go on the short-list after winning over a shorter trip here last time but he is 5lb higher and has yet to prove his stamina. Halls Bridge would have a chance if getting a run from his reserve spot but THEO (NAP) was noted staying on well behind Killaro Boy at Fairyhouse last month having won nicely at Down Royal previously and looks well treated at present with Conor Brassil's claim another plus. Star Of Angels isn't getting any younger but has been knocking on the door again lately and can't be ruled out.
