Pace And Passion was in very good form throughout last summer and will be all the better for last month's run at Killarney. Clontarf had been threatening to win for some time before promoted to first after finishing second at Down Royal and he can make his presence felt from just 3lb higher. Dramatic Event looked as though he would be suited by this longer trip when runner-up to Heathfield at Navan while Ocean Glandore is 1lb lower than when scoring here in August. JUST LIKEOLD TIMES has improved on good ground recently and was always travelling like a winner at Ballinrobe. Providing the conditions don't deteriorate he can defy a 7lb rise. Happy As Larry hasn't had too many races and tackles this trip for the first time but looks well handicapped and Barry Geraghty has ridden him into a place on his last two starts.
