Pintura won this a year ago from a 7lb lower mark and though he didn't show behind Brendan Bracken on Tuesday his overall form puts him in the picture. Dermot Weld will be delighted to see the heavy rain falling for STUCCODOR, whose five-timer was mainly completed on testing going. He's been held back for this and though he's shot up the weights his latest victim Fiesolana completed a hat-trick subsequently so he's probably capable of a higher rating. Boots And Spurs arrives from the UK with a chance as he's another who revels in testing ground while Seanie was just in front of Pintura earlier in the week though he doesn't win often. Cash Or Casualty couldn't quite hang on over a mile at Bellewstown and is better over this trip while Legal Lyric should be noted in the betting as she's lurking at the foot of the weights yet wasn't disgraced in Listed company last time.
