Pat Coyne was in fine form last summer, winning here in August on good ground and is still on a reasonable mark. SIBERIAN STAR easily won a Leopardstown handicap in December, with Fangio De Vassy well beaten, then ran well over hurdles back there last month. With conditions in his favour he's taken to get the better of Presenting Point, who isn't the most consistent but was well supported when landing a Thurles handicap last month. Envoi Pierji seems better on softer ground over further
