Visioman has two course and distance victories to his credit but his stable look to have stronger claims with Benruben, an impressive winner at Down Royal and only 5lb higher. Kildorrery has also won around here and the handicapper has finally loosened his grip though it's about time US AND THEM was ending a long losing run stretching back to 2018. He could have done without a 3lb rise for finishing second at Punchestown but he's generally competed at a much higher level than this. The West's Awake was behind the selection last time and looks held.
