A race for horses that have yet to finish in the first three under Rules though AGENT ET OR looked like doing so for a long way at Downpatrick last time. Fading away into fourth after the last on that occasion, he gets another chance with headgear applied for the first time. Benefit Run also showed up to better effect on the same card at Downpatrick while Hourie is another whose effort petered out in the run-in at Clonmel last month. Tapenade has failed to show any improvement and drops back down in trip for Gordon Elliott’s yard.
