Not surprisingly most of these would be more at home with a set of hurdles to jump. Well Tuned is certainly amongst them though he ran very well over 1m6f at Leopardstown last month where he stayed on strongly. Modem hasn't run since down the field in the County Hurdle at Cheltenham but he was earlier runner-up in a Grade 2 at Naas. Borussia ran quite well over a trip too short at Ballinrobe but was five lengths behind BALKINSTOWN at Clonmel in May. The winner has been raised 6lb but it was a much improved run and he's taken to complete a double. Zemario has a strike-rate of 1-33 but his stable do well here and he looked on an attractive mark on his reappearance at Leopardstown last month.
