SATTAM, who is by Sea The Stars, didn't quite get the run of the race at Naas in January and, with that under his belt, should take some beating. The Yellow Clay represents Gordon Elliott who has won this a couple of times in recent years though Iceberg Theory has a better pedigree for bumpers being a half-brother to two and out of a bumper winner. Montys Rock is a brother to a Listed winner on the Flat and related to several other winners and is one to keep an eye on.
