Chillie Billie showed a modicum of ability when trained in the UK but will need to improve dramatically to take a hand. The remaining trio can all be given a chance but it's FOOTPRINT who is handed the vote. He couldn't quite cope with Arctic over 6f on heavy ground at Navan last time but he ran well and his young rider's claim may just swing things his way. Custom Cut enters the fray in tremendous shape and comfortably saw off Joe Eile at Down Royal last time. He's still progressing but will need to be after a big jump in the weights from his handicap victory at Cork. Sean Og Coulston was well supported at Naas last week despite it being only his second start since August. He's only 2lb higher than when scoring at Tipperary in July and has to be considered.
