Theophile has benefitted for the fitting of blinkers and bids for a hat-trick having won at Leopardstown last time when beating Maker Of Kings. But a line through the latter gives her something to find with TEED UP, who won in testing ground over track and trip before finishing second over a longer distance earlier this month. Kodiac Prince has been thereabouts recently and has the beating of Soaring Monarch on earlier form while Out On Friday beat Ideal Pal here last month and the latter’s stablemate In From The Cold has an apprentice’s allowance helping his cause. Dragon Of Malta and Zofar Zogood are others to consider in an open affair.
