RAMPAGE shaped well when sixth in this race on his reappearance last season and, with a run already under his belt this time round, the 5-y-o may well emerge on top. He did well to finish as close as he did having encountered traffic problems on return at Dundalk 10 days ago, leaving the strong impression that there is mileage in his current mark. Superior Force was ahead of the selection in this race 12 months ago, finishing fourth, and he is feared most ahead of Broad Daylight and Mogwli.
