SIL VER KLASS hasn't run on an all-weather track since trained in France in 2017. However, he arrives in excellent form having been narrowly beaten by the in-form Clarens over hurdles on Sunday and can go one better. Yamato went up 11lb for scoring over 1m6f at Navan and couldn't quite cope over this track and trip next time and has been raised 1lb. He was only just in front of Annecherie a fortnight ago and the latter is only a three-year-old so has much more scope. Power Drive likes it around here though his track victories have been over shorter while Sharjah has been looking for a tenth track success since March 2018. Hammersmith has been in winning form over hurdles while City Limits finished in front of Futurum Regem in a Thurles maiden hurdle though the latter won a 2m6f Navan handicap by nine lengths on Sunday.
