Patrick Flynn tries Hangar Five in blinkers for the first time after three successive second places but it may have been the soft ground that was responsible for those defeats and it will be much quicker here. Moving Statue is still a maiden after 15 starts but he'll be tackling this trip for the first time and is likely to be suited. Zarzal makes his handicap debut and has shown gradual improvement, while Black Belt and Belleau are very closely matched on their 1-2 at Wexford last month though the former should confirm the form. PRINCE OF FASHION made a winning reappearance over 1m2f at Fairyhouse and ran very well over this trip at Galway. He's probably still improving and is taken to land this tight handicap.
