Tycoon Prince ran a shocker at Gowran when well supported after a very good run at Naas and has become difficult to predict. Stable companions Cubomania is a very good novice who was still in touch when falling in the Grade 1 Drinmore at Fairyhouse and looks as though he has more to offer. Tisamystery won this last year and looks to have been prepped for a follow-up after a fine run at Cork while Henry De Bromhead also runs Monbeg Chit Chat, who has struggled off his new mark since completing a double in the summer. Another from the yard, Arcenfete, won a couple of minor races before falling in much better company at Roscommon and like Kildorrery is making his handicap debut in this tough event. TEACHER'S PET has had jumping problems in the past that have halted her progress but she returned to chasing at Fairyhouse with an excellent run over a longer trip and though now on her highest ever mark still looks reasonably treated.
