13 lb out of the weights but returned to form to win 13-runner handicap at Punchestown (3m) 8 days ago, all out to hold on. Back on his 'proper' mark here but not an obvious type to follow up.

11/1

Love Like This (10/3), Charlie's Gift (4/1), Annie's Belle (9/2), Three County Star (7/1), Gerrys Wish (15/2), Smackwater Jack (8/1), Katie's Casper (11/1), Youknowme (11/1), Stretchemout (12/1), Chasing Crowns (16/1), Lily Milan (16/1), Stonecarthy (20/1), Dylan Oak (20/1), Imperial Tune (20/1), Brother Hollie (25/1), The Ducks Walk (28/1), Riggs (28/1), Back The West (33/1), Not So Serious (66/1)

ANNIE'S BELLE saw her race out well when third at this course earlier in the month and she gets the nod to go a couple of places better upped to 3m for the first time. Love Like This is a long-standing maiden but arriving in good form, she can provide most resistance. Last-time-out winner Smackwater Jack and Gerrys Wish round off the shortlist.
