SIMPATICO ran well when fourth at Wexford 3 weeks ago and remains unexposed over this trip, so he gets the nod in an opening-looking heat. Alfieri was running well when unseating his rider at the last at Roscommon last month, while Penny Jar is sure to be involved if confirming the improvement shown at Bellewstown in July.
