Cilento completed a double for John Gosden in just four starts and is rated 85 on the Flat so looks a good addition to Charles Byrnes' string. Swamp Fox had just half-a-length to spare over CRADLE MOUNTAIN at Fairyhouse earlier this month and the runner-up, who was making his debut over timber, can gain revenge as Barry Geraghty takes over from a conditional. Never Again, who is rated just 57 on the level, looks certain to make a much better hurdler judged on his narrow defeat by Rooster Byron here a couple of weeks ago. Gordon Elliott's French import Authorized Cadeaux may need more time judged on his debut performance at Naas.
