The four-year-old Ingleby Mackenzie and ICELIP prop up the weights but both are already course and distance winners and still in good form. The former stayed on late at Galway when chasing a four-timer under both codes but may be a few pounds too high now. The latter won over fences here in June and wasn’t fazed by a switch back to hurdles last time at Killarney when finding only one too good. He gets the nod but Touchedbyanangel is a danger arriving off back-to-back wins at Downpatrick and Icario may be about to hit form again after a third at Kilbeggan. One In All In makes his handicap debut on a fair mark and Conor Orr takes off 7lb so the down Royal and Limerick winner is also worth a second look.
