YUFTEN is a long way clear on official ratings, as he was when beaten 8l by Tennesse Waltz at Tipperary earlier this month. There isn't much difference at the weights here but John Feane's charge couldn't handle the soft ground and things didn't go right for him. Providing the going doesn't ease he can prove that run all wrong. War Hero is much better at Dundalk having gained all of his three victories there though this will be his first start in this grade but Al Batal is held by the selection on earlier Dundalk running though his stable remains in fine form.
