INDIVIDUALISTE had no problem with the drop back to this trip when adding to November's 25f Thurles success at Navan last month and, while a 10 lb rise in the weights will ask a question of him, Gavin Cromwell's charge may well have more to offer. He is taken to complete the hat-trick, perhaps at the chief expense of the consistent El Champo. A case can also be made for Kiltealy Park, while the likes of American Money, Buachaillbocht and Miss Pronunciation are all open to improvement.
