Serve Time, who made a very promising debut over fences in August, hasn't been seen since a poor effort when strongly fancied at Kilbeggan the following month. Cottage Oak looked a very useful prospect when making a winning debut over fences at Down Royal but never got to grips on his next start in better company at Killarney and can do better than that. Prosperity Square came good at the sixth time of asking over fences at Wexford but will need to improve again in this better race but SOMATIC made an impressive chasing bow in what looked a strong beginners event at Wexford and can take this as the longer trip will be a bonus. King Of Redfield needs a thorough test of stamina and will be a threat granted a strong gallop.
