Rough Justice won this last year and is only 2lb higher but his form over the last 12 months has left much to be desired. Da Baba Elephant won over track and trip last summer and was successful at Wexford last month but is looking a few pounds too high now. SISSINGHURST was pulled up in his first two runs over fences but produced a much better effort last time here when only finding one too good. That was a stronger contest than this and Fergal O’Brien’s charge can race off the same mark. Golans Choice was in the lead when running out in that latter race so would be a danger with a clear round while Shaiyzar wasn’t beaten far at Cartmel, though a record of 0-18 over fences is off-putting.
