Elusive In Paris has changed stables since winning this a year ago but has continued in good form at this level on the track. Reddot Express and Sheisdiesel have met the last twice with reversing fortunes. Both will be suited by stepping up in trip and the latter can come out on top this time. PARI PASSU (NAP) couldn't handle heavy ground at Leopardstown last time but would have a chance second to none on his victory in a handicap over the course and distance in February and Gavin Ryan's claim can see him back in the winner's enclosure. Lonely The Brave's only victory for Mark Johnston was gained on Polytrack though he hasn't run since August.
