Veteran Damut is still a force at this level though possibly better over fences. Room To Roam ran well on the Flat last month and Elderado remains unexposed. MASTER ARTIST (NAP) certainly wasn’t winning out of turn at Cork earlier this month and is probably still on an upward curve so he can defy a 6lb rise and get the better of the four-year-old Awkwafina, who should handle this quicker surface. Justbecool was runner-up at Downpatrick on his handicap debut but Priory Park was a disappointing favourite at Clonmel so has a bit to prove now.
