Wesley Joyce is very good value for his claim as he showed on board Mickey The Steel at Bellewstown last week though his mount will be 7lb higher and had earlier finished behind Collective Power at Cork. The latter has been in very good form all year though wouldn't want the ground too testing. JON RIGGENS has been running well in stronger company all summer and though just behind Little Queenie at the Curragh found the minimum trip on quick ground too short. He can return to winning ways though Wave Machine loved the testing ground at Down Royal last week and may have a bit more to give.
