Just Call Me, whose last victory was in 2017, has dropped to a very lowly mark and ran his best race for a long time at Tipperary last month. However, he finished seven lengths behind runner-up Elegant Dan and the latter, who looked a certain winner when going clear at the last, was only caught close home and should confirm the form. Rathnaleen Tou won this last year though arrived in better form than she does here while Fu's Island gained a surprise victory here in August but hasn't shown much since. FLEURYS FORT gained his last success in 2018 off a mark of 99 and showed he's ready to go in again when a close fourth from 7lb lower at Kilbeggan, where he was staying on strongly over slightly shorter. Pak Army has been going well on the Flat and should improve on his four starts over timber.
