Joseph O'Brien has three entries with Roger That possibly the best of them after showing very good pace when runner-up over 7f last month. He's better drawn that Empire Line, who drops back in trip after staying on over 7f here in October and may find this on the short side. Pass The Vino made a promising debut behind the long odds-on North Wind at Naas in July so has to be on the shortlist. Fairy Fast showed some potential a fortnight ago and normal progress can see her in the firing-line but Compton's Finale has done best over the minimum trip. JUNGLE JUNGLE has been making steady progress and led for a long way over 7f here in November so tonight's trip can enable him to get off the mark.
