Faughill has been running well and was only just caught over this trip on heavy ground at Galway after attempting to make all. She's up 3lb but will take some catching though PERFECT TAPATINO fits the bill. Joseph O'Brien's charge has been handed a 7lb rise for landing a Naas handicap on his first attempt at this trip but had a bit in hand and looks better than a 75-rated handicapper. Acclamatio has been running well enough to consider from the bottom of the weights along with the three-year-old Madrid, who has produced two fair efforts since returning from a long break and should be at his peak. Vitudurum was a 33/1 chance when making a successful debut on heavy going at Listowel where he won going away so he could be well treated on 80 while Saint Inni was also staying on strongly over 1m2f at Navan and will have no problems with the extra.
