An inside berth is always welcome over this trip here and ALMANAARA (NAP) has drawn stall one. Dermot Weld's grey was finishing fast when just failing to catch Haqeeba over 6f at Naas and should go one better. Atlas has had plenty of chances though this trip on fast ground could be just what he needs while Truffles has improved with every run and it wouldn't take much more to get involved. Bromance disappointed on soft ground at Galway after a promising debut at Navan and Military Hill had no answer when passed by Seville Star at Leopardstown.
