Vado Forte came here for the first time at the Festival in July and landed a better race than this over the trip. He's since been claimed out of a Ballinrobe hurdle and has his first run for new connections. JEREMYS FLAME (NAP) was in excellent form last winter and reappeared to run very well in the 2m6f Galway Blazers at the Festival when he had Bold Enough and Bold Emperor behind. He's since failed on faster ground over timber but can bounce back here. Gevrey prefers a bit further but the front-running Kitty Galore should ensure a good gallop and may take some catching.
