Al Batal makes a quick reappearance after finding soft ground against him at Hamilton on Monday. His earlier close fourth behind Lost Treasure at the Curragh was a much better effort and his young rider can claim 10lb. Hot Stone finished just in front in that latter event but ran a shocker at Listowel last time though that wasn't his form. FREIHEIT (NAP) dropped down to the minimum at Down Royal for the first time and chased home Early Call. He didn't quite get the run of the race that day and can go one better in a race that shouldn't take much winning. Chillala's best runs have been on fast going though she's tackling this trip for the first time.
