Brontide was tailed off when Lord Justice finished second to Sister Blandina over this trip at Fairyhouse last month. Joseph O'Brien's gelding has been raised a couple of pounds since but will be fancied to go one better. KUBALI has been dropped 3lb since finishing third at Limerick. Trapped wide that day, stepping back up in distance will suit and he could be the value if the blinkers work a second time. Power Struggle ran over 1m4f at Down Royal last month and has tended to reserve his best for Polytrack while Reddot Dancer continues to disappoint. Multiviz and Silas R also need to find some improvement.
