EXPLORERS WAY, having scored at Down Royal in June, bumped into an improver when second at Navan last time so, in a race that lacks depth for the numbers, he's fancied to resume winning ways. Tall Story is a threat but his long-standing maiden tag is a concern, while Killeaney Bear isn't without hope having shaped quite well last time.
