Mighty Stowaway has been placed in four of his five starts with his only poor run coming when tackling 3m at Fairyhouse. He has a long absence to overcome and though Cosmo's Moon was battling on when runner-up over the minimum at Galway this is a big step-up in trip. STOOSHIE is also facing this distance for the first time after staying on over 2m at Naas on his hurdling debut but he's always looked as though a test of stamina was required and he can gain reward for his consistency. Cluan Dara has been looking one-paced over shorter.
