In depth

Verdict

NOT SO SIMPLE has found his form since reverting to hurdles from fences and a 5lb rise for his Killarney victory may not prevent a double. Feyan returned after a very long break to run a fine race here earlier this month though that was over an extended 2m. She's run well over 2m2f here in the past though takes a big step-up in trip. Yeat's Encore started favourite in that latter event but also found the trip on the short side after attempting to make all. Moyode Lady's lone success came over 3m1f on heavy ground so she'll be suited by a stamina test while Dundeedy Lad ran well over a trip much too short at Tramore last week.
