HARRY TOPPER is thrown in on pieces of his old form and he proved he wasn't done with yet when staying on strongly for fourth last time; he will be hard to beat if building upon that. O'Faolains Boy is one with a similar profile and has some useful course form while the consistency of Loose Chips gives him a good each-way chance.
