Francois has won on the Flat and over timber in France though hasn't run since October 2018. Archies Charm won a Limerick maiden on heavy going in November and bounced back to form behind Tullybeg at Down Royal but Joeswayornoway is 17lb higher than when scoring at Clonmel in March. ONEKNIGHTMOREIHOPE keeps running well without winning and creeping up the weights but this could be his day with his rider claiming her 7lb allowance. Junior Rattler, a winner over the minimum trip at Naas in March, has run very well the last twice over 3m so with this in-between trip certain to suit he looks the main threat.
