Advanced Virgo completed a double on the Flat in the UK in 2018 and scored over hurdles for Charles Byrnes in September. He may not be badly treated with Sam Ewing's claim taken into consideration. LOINGSEOIR is up 7lb for his victory over 1m2f on soft ground at Cork but looks on the upgrade. This doesn't look much tougher and he can complete a double. Call Me Dolly may do better with cheekpieces applied while Happy Company has been racing over further and may find this on the short side though any further rain would bring him into contention. Pak Army's two victories have been on Polytrack but his recent runs here and at Leopardstown put him in the picture.
