Brosna George ran well enough at Fairyhouse in December to suggest he'll play a part in the finish in this contest while Be My Vinnie should benefit from the drop in trip having run well enough last time out. Northern Emperor could get involved on his handicap debut and should be watched in the market but the nod goes to LIKE A DEMON. He perhaps had a little too much ground to make up against a progressive rival at Naas when second last month and the winner has since given that form a boost. With doubts surrounding plenty of these, Rapid Fritz is given a reprieve now back to this two-mile trip having run well at Punchestown on his penultimate start. 1. Like A Demon 2. Brosna George 3. Be My Vinnie
