Well beaten and no impression in the Grade 1 Arkle at Cheltenham and Gold Cup chase at Fairyhouse in April when last seen. May come on for the run but needs a confident booster.
Off the boil in four below-par starts in the last year, though out of his depth at Fairyhouse and Punchestown in two Grade 1 contests. Not out of it in a small field.
Forecasts
Lieutenant Colonel (5/4), Attribution (5/2), Childrens List (7/2), Some Plan (5/1)
Attribution should make this a decent clip from the front under talented claimer J J Slevin. SOME PLAN is taken overcome Childeren's List who need everything to drop right for him with the selection winning on the ground, in the grade and is four from seven in small fields.
