A LIKELY STORY scored here earlier in the year and won again at the Curragh last time. He’s been raised 4lb but is just preferred to Duncan Of Scotland, who won at Ayr before going close again at the same track last week. Glenmoore won over track and trip in February but remains 5lb higher but Cappadocia should be sharper for a recent reappearance. Clare Island is not badly treated while Pillar and Mr Shelby are both inconsistent but capable of figuring on the day if in the mood.
