Andy Slattery was on board for both victories by Insignia Of Rank but not when he was beaten in a Listed contest here last week. His claim will be a bonus again though so will that of Shane Crosse, who has had a wonderful season riding for Joseph O'Brien. The pair team up again with PERFECT TAPATINO, the winner of three of his last four and still on the upgrade judging by his victory over the track and trip last week. Share The Honour had been threatening to win before doing so at Galway in August and a 4lb rise is offset by Ben Coen's claim. Willie Mullins has been winning handicaps on the Flat with regularity recently so Causey Arch has to be considered off a mark of 76 though this could prove on the short side.
