This drop in trip and the addition of cheekpieces could be just the ticket for SO DES FLOS, who wasn't beaten far despite looking rather laboured when third over 23.7f at Thurles last month. Potters Party remains open to improvement and he is second choice ahead of Castle Field Boy. Macdermott produced a rather tame finishing effort on his hurdles debut at Down Royal but he couldn't be in better hands and may be seen in a better light now faced with a stiffer test.
