Senor Lombardy won easily between the flags at Ballysteen in April and should go close in his first run under Rules but it must be significant that the champion has hung around to ride EU UP ROCKY for Micky Hammond. The Dylan Thomas gelding is a half-brother to four winners on the Flat and may have too much speed for his rivals. Kick On Dottie looks the pick of those with experience ahead of Zamarkhan.
