NESSUN DORMA was not given a hard time when unplaced behind Neverushacon here in May. He is much better off at the weights with both the winner and third Lareena and has been in sparkling form on the Flat since, beating a subsequent winner at Ballinrobe and landing a valuable handicap over 1m4f at Galway – he looks to be back to his best. Play The Game won over track and trip last month but has a 7lb rise to overcome and was earlier behind Dixie Lee at Bellewstown when 2lb better off. Political Policy won at Bellewstown and Downpatrick last month but has more to do in this company but Beau Et Sublime has a chance at the weights and top weight Ivanovich Gorbatov still has a touch of class.
