Gold Tantrum has really found his form and completed a double here last month. He's gone up 7lb but Shane Butler's claim takes care of most of that so it will be a surprise if he's not there at the finish. ROMAN NUMERAL is 11lb higher than when scoring here last April but has continued to go well and he can get back to winning ways. Westerner Point won twice over this trip in March then found 2m3f beyond him at Cork so this should be more to his liking. Lucky Pat finished last on his reappearance though that was over a trip too far and he looked progressive when scoring here and at Galway in August.
