Verdict

HESGONETHATWAY took a major step forward when running out a convincing winner on his second handicap start at Naas recently and even a 9 lb rise may not be enough to prevent the follow up with this slightly longer trip promising to suit. Duke Otto has claims from his current mark if recapturing something like the pick of his form, with I'm Flattered completing the shortlist having shaped better than the distance beaten suggests at Punchestown on her most recent outing.
