Mick Slates had an engagement in a similar race last night at Naas so if he turns up here with his low weight he would be greatly respected. Regal Power was also engaged in the same race but hasn't been in the best of form. KORBOUS has won three times in his career - the last two around here including last week when beating the consistent Oor Jock. He's been raised 6lb but this doesn't look any tougher and he can follow up. Oddysey has attempted to make all over the course and distance the last twice and only succumbed in the closing stages. She'll make a bold bid and has to be respected along with Knights Templar, who was staying on over 7f at Tipperary.
