GENUINE JIM produced a career-best effort when runner-up in a big-field handicap at Leopardstown 3 weeks ago and on that evidence, he's capable of winning a race like this. Harry The Rogue was backed as tough capable of better on his return and he may show more this time, while recent AW winner Notforlalongtime is very dangerous if replicating that effort on turf.
