Out of form at Galway when last spotted in October, this probably an easier test but no surprise should he come on for the run.

Pulled up at Cheltenham last month and also very disappointing at Limerick in 3m Grade Three contest since. Drops in trip and might be capable of better in time but needs career-best in all probability to win this.

Got within just over 8L of superstar stablemate Yorkhill at Leopardstown in January over 2m3f and can be forgiven flop behind Acapella Bourgeois over 3m since given how that race unfolded. Leading player in this seemingly.

Winner on only start over fences previously in May 2015, returned from 689 day layoff with perfectly acceptable run over hurdles at Cork 17 days ago and can take a leading role in this if that hasn't left any mark.

Scored at Limerick in December over shorter trip and has been seen in some very competitive races since. Drops in class now and must enter calculations.

Forecasts

Bellow Mome (8/11), Montys Meadow (7/2), Flaxen Flare (9/2), Stone Hard (5/1), All Hell Let Loose (11/2), Akito (25/1)

Verdict

A pretty open looking contest and it is hard to rule any of them out. All Hell Let Loose has the potential for better but his recent effort at Limerick was disappointing. Stone Hard and Montys Meadow will both appreciate racing in this company having been set some tough tasks of late and confidence behind either would be noted. Bellow Mome ran well enough behind Yorkhill in January to command respect now dropping to this trip after a controversial race at Navan since. The vote however goes the way of FLAXEN FLARE who ran a pleasing race over hurdles recently off the back of a significant layoff and, having won his only previous chase start in good style, should take the beating if this race doesn't catch him out.
  1. Flaxen Flare
  2. Montys Meadow
  3. All Hell Let Loose
