TOP MOON and Myth Buster are both rated 136, the former after a superb run in the lucrative Matheson Handicap at Leopardstown where he failed by a neck to concede stable companion A Wave Of The Sea 8lb. That was easily his best run to date and a repeat might just be enough to see off his main rival, who has been racing in very tough handicaps and will find this very much less demanding. Cuneo did well over hurdles but hasn't really taken to fences while Lord Schnitzel has gone backwards since finishing third to Faugheen on his chasing bow in 2019.
