This step back up in trip promises to suit NOBLE BIRTH, who was doing his best work at the finish when runner-up at Navan last month. He remains open to improvement and is taken to go one better this time. Francois is another who should appreciate moving back up in distance having also hit the crossbar at Thurles on his latest start. Sparkling Stars and Itsnotinit are others to consider.
