Gold Des Bois was an odds-on chance when beaten in a Thurles maiden though he didn't quite get the run of the race. Kaatskill Nap has been given plenty of time to recover from his three runs in 2018 and is definitely the type to improve while winning bumper Pat's Pick will appreciate stepping up in trip and will enjoy the conditions. THE VERY MAN finished in front of him at Navan last time, however, when runner-up to Francin. He was staying on at the finish so today's longer trip can see him lose his maiden tag over timber.
