Emorcee and Portreath are of interest based on potential rather than actual form achieved. Rumbled Again is the most exposed but has proved himself over trip and ground and goes well for his pilot. He outpointed Rathbranchurch by a length when the pair clashed recently and it should be closer now as the latter enjoys a 3lb pull. Anann is hard to assess in that he's reliable and consistent but has yet to perform on Turf and has been off since February. Not Just Yet's penultimate run when third to Wave Machine at Naas brings him into contention, but the best efforts of THE SNAPPER have all come over this trip and he looks nicely treated on the back of a good fourth in a big field latest. He is prone to throw in the occasional bad one but hopefully this isn't one of them under seemingly ideal conditions.
