Whereyounow has had a break since completing a double with a track and trip victory in April. He looks on the upgrade so a 7lb rise shouldn't prevent a big run. Global Racing had signalled an imminent victory before coming here and landing a 2m6f handicap in impressive fashion. The longer trip won't be a problem but a 10lb hike in the ratings will be difficult to overcome. The veteran BYE BYE O BYE finished a close third in that latter event, staying on at the finish. He then went to Kilbeggan for a 3m1f handicap and won as he pleased, earning an 8lb rise in the process, so coming here with a 5lb penalty looks a winning option. City Hall showed major improvement at Bellewstown and it will be a surprise if he's not in contention.
