Willie Mullins has booked 5lb claimer Nial Kelly for Lareena, who ran a shocker at Killarney after leading at this trip when tackling 2m7f at Galway. She's still only five and can make further progress. Smitty Bacall is right at the top of his game at present and a 7lb rise for his Killarney victory is unlikely to prevent another big run while Concordin was going well over fences in the spring and reverts to hurdles on a much lower mark. Runyon Rattler led for most of this trip at Bellewstown and won't mind the testing conditions but the vote goes to INTERNAL TRANSFER (NAP). Eric McNamara had a double on opening day here and the lightly-raced seven-year-old, a winner at Limerick in April, was having his first start since May when making a bold bid to make all over the track and trip on Tuesday when conceding 4lb to the well handicapped Brex Drago. High Sparrow was in fine form on this sort of ground in the spring and his trainer will have him ready.
