It could well be left to Monbeg Notorious and Champagne West to take the field along in the early stages of the Thyestes with possibly Genie In A Bottle, Fine Theatre and Flaxen Flare chasing behind. Sumos Novios has remained in reasonable form since winning a Cork handicap chase just over a year ago despite a 16lb hike in the weights and the Willie Mullins-trained PLEASANT COMPANY who finished fourth of 18 in this race last year off a 2lb higher mark can battle it out here with the latter landing the spoils. Fine Theatre and the game Thunder And Roses can hit the frame.
