There's no doubting the credentials of Credit The Giver, who had been running well on Polytrack before impressing with an easy victory over a mile at Naas. The good ground suited him that day and though a 10lb rise looks harsh he's progressing enough to make a bold bid. King Christophe is 9lb lower than when last successful just over a year ago while Salariaq gained her only victory from a higher mark than this and she will be better for her recent run at Dundalk, her first for a year. First Post won eight times on the Flat in the UK and is beginning to find his form while So Sensible hasn't been performing badly at Dundalk after finishing runner-up at Galway under a huge weight in September. ARDMORE (NAP) has had very little racing but looks ready to start making up for lost time judging on his run at Naas where he would have finished much closer with a clear run - he looks the one to be on here.
