Smooth Tom chased home a well-regarded favourite at Naas last month and normal progress should see him in contention while Moe Sedway ran very well when staying on over 6f at the same fixture. MOONY BEAMS was beaten three times when well supported last season but looked in need of the run on his reappearance at Navan and should be thereabouts so gets the vote. Frank Columbo from a yard going well, made much of the running over 1m2f at Dundalk and will have come on a bundle for the experience. Fawkner Park, a half-brother to two winners, is a newcomer to keep an eye on as is Tharif, who is related to several winners.
