The 'unknown' commodity is the Killarney winner Viking Hoard who posted what could only be described as a 'stinker' when bidding to follow up at Galway. However, that race was just eleven days on from his decisive win, conceivably too soon, so he deserves another chance. Both Beach Break (three) and LUCKY ROBIN (two) are seeking to extend their recent winning runs of form, so in an open race the tentative vote sways towards the Brian Ellison-trained runner. He gamely fended off a subsequent winner (Fleeting Visit) at Market Rasen latest and should cope with this slight drop back in trip.
