After a narrow victory at Punchestown, Fighter Allen stepped into Grade 2 company at Navan but pulled hard and was soon done with. TORYGRAPH was very impressive over the trip at Fairyhouse and Jack Kennedy is likely to make good use of his obvious stamina in this small field, though Heather Rocco will ensure there is no hanging around. The winning point-to-pointer was equally impressive over 2m5f at Limerick and normal progress suggests he'll give the selection a thorough test. The mare Angels Dawn is making her debut over hurdles after seven runs in bumpers.
