A few progressive contenders who could improve to take this here, including FITZHENRY. A winner of two of his last three starts he is good over both sets of obstacles but is a better chaser, and won at Naas last time. He's up 6lb but may well appreciate this step back up in trip. Augustin is another recent winner who could be on the premises while Without Limits was in the process of running a good race before a fall last time and may do better with a clear round here in first-time cheekpieces.
