This step back in trip will suit SMOKEY THE BANDIT, who found things happened too quickly dropped to 19.2f at Limerick last month. He pulled clear of the rest when chasing home an odds-on shot at the same course in March, and a reproduction of that display would give him every chance. Rumoroso should leave his Punchestown reappearance well behind and is clear second choice ahead of Coastal World.
