Courtin Bb has a poor strike-rate but both victories have been gained over the track and trip and Rachael Blackmore's presence is encouraging. Sea Scorpion is the other course and distance winner in the line-up and though he ran poorly when tried over 3m at Punchestown his earlier run when a close third over 2m3f at Limerick puts him in the picture. Oskar High has only won once, back in 2017, but is still higher in the weights so this looks a good opportunity for the four-year-old AMADEUS. Gavin Cromwell's charge, runner-up on the Fibresand at Southwell last month, is brought out quickly after easily his best run over timber at Ballinrobe on Friday when finishing very strongly over an extended 2m1f so this should prove ideal.
