Prosecution is the starting point after going agonisingly close last month on debut for Johnny Murtagh, although he's been bumped up in the weights for his troubles. He should however lay down another challenge. Hasselnott wasn't far behind and can go well along with The Moore Factor while any money coming for Harmonyofthestars on handicap bow would be notable. NOTHING TO LOSE was a three-time winner last season and made an encouraging reappearance at Leopardstown last time over 7f. Assuming he gets mile, this better ground should suit and he can go forward again this term.
