POLIDAM made light work of winning in this grade at Navan over 2m4f earlier in the month and, despite a 9lb hike, he's fancied to take some beating again. He had plenty in hand on that occasion and those that finished behind him did so at wide intervals. That was just his second start for Willie Mullins and with no reason to doubt his stamina, he could prove himself well ahead of the handicapper still. Forever Gold rarely runs a bad race and showed his well-being when chasing home the well-regarded Presenting Percy last time, he should go well again. Gordon Elliott has enough in this for a good race amongst themselves, Squouateur ran well enough on his reappearance to suggest he can get involved while Woods Well is a potential improver. Pleasant Company, Bonny Kate and Space Cadet are others to note.
