PRIDE OF PLACE got no further than the first fence at Wexford recently, but his jumping was largely assured when opening his account in a Tipperary handicap previously and he remains unexposed as a stayer. The 6-y-o could be the answer, with Hardy Diamond next on the list on the back of his solid second at Perth, while The Little Yank, who also found just one too good last time, is another strong candidate.
