SHINING AITCH had a couple of all-weather victories to his credit in the UK and gained his first success here last week when beating Comfort Line half-a-length. The runner-up will be 3lb better off so there's nothing between them here though the winner can come out on top again. Slieve Bearnagh has only run here once back in 2019 but he's been in fine form on Turf scoring at Navan then finding 1m1f too short at Punchestown. Hasten Slowly is up 3lb for finishing second here a fortnight ago but Not Just Any Eagle pulled too hard on his track debut in October and is better judged on his earlier efforts on Turf.
