Oh Johnny has had his last three starts here with his close second to King Maker in November easily the best of them. He would be a threat in that kind of form while Satwa King generally performs well on the track and is the only course winner in the line-up. Eddie Zero and BOLD PRESENT arrive here in winning form and preference is for the latter. He has gradually been improving and was having only his second start since April when beating a big field at Navan last month. Eddie Zero has had little racing and there was plenty to like about his victory at Downpatrick. A 5lb rise is fair and he looks a big threat. Sparky McGovern was noted staying on in the race won by Turnonthegas at Punchestown and a big run from the winner in the previous race will point to his chances.
