Bumper and hurdles winner Cillian's Return has gone close on his last two starts on the Flat. He's sure to be thereabouts making his handicap debut but the three-year-old BOLD BID appeared to be getting the hang of things last time at Leopardstown and is preferred getting plenty of weight. Hudson's Bay is consistent but will probably find a couple too good again and He's Our Man and Eye Of The Tiger aren't getting any younger. Call Me Pj was still beaten 12 lengths when third at Galway at the start of the month.
