MAKNIFICENT won nicely at Leopardstown last month but came up short against higher rated rivals than these at the Curragh last time. She should go close in this grade and is preferred to Credit The Giver, who has failed to figure since landing a double earlier in the year. Both Hidden Oasis and Could Should Would are looking to exploit a slide down the weights with the latter preferred dropping back down in class while Hatton Cross went close at Tipperary last time but this is tougher. Shannon Soul is proving hard to with with but was placed off today’s mark at Dundalk last time.
