High Altitude is a four-times track winner and the fact that Colin Keane has been booked suggests the eight-year-old could be ready to strike again. Angel's Trumpet scored on his only visit here last year and had dropped to a lowly mark when completing an early-season double. He's still by no means badly treated and should get competitive. He holds Tashim on their 1-2 at Gowran in June but Geologist was gaining the 16th victory of his career when scoring over the track and trip last month and can never be discounted. GRAPPA NONINO looked a likely future winner when beaten a neck by the prolific Dunum at the Curragh and may not have been suited by soft ground when favourite at the Galway festival so gets the nod to lose his maiden tag. Ghumama showed massive improvement to score at Dundalk on Monday but a 7lb penalty and soft surface makes this much more difficult.
