Paddy Pub won this a year ago from just 3lb lower and looks to have been primed for a repeat but he was a long way behind JOLILY at Thurles last month and the winner looks set to complete a double. He had earlier been beaten 10 lengths by Tarquinius at Leopardstown though that was over a much shorter trip and he can reverse the places with the winner. Rich Revival hasn't had much experience for a race of this nature but his two recent victories have been gained over distances short of his best and he has to be of interest. Panther Claw wasn't far behind Rich Revival at Fairyhouse and has progressed enough to make his presence felt along with Fever Pitch, who was in touch and going nicely when unseating his rider at Leopardstown.
