There looks to be a few with claims in this with Amuse Me starting to drop towards a more realistic mark and Dean's Grange likely to improve on his debut third over fences at Worcester. Hail Caesar is tried in a visor after finishing third at Market Rasen, while Misamon has been knocking on the door again. Digital Media came right away from the front-running My Condor over C&D in May before struggling against better company at Aintree but the one to beat may be CARLETON PLACE. Henry De Bromhead's only runner at the meeting will be all the better for a recent fourth at Wexford and isn't badly treated on his win at Tramore last August.
