CENTAQ has been knocking on the door with consecutive runner-up finishes at Downpatrick and is taken to go one better if the likely strong pace materialises. The Border Boy returned to form when third at Fairyhouse just five days ago and has claims if he can build on that, while Wing Back may well get back on track if none the worse for his recent fall. Redcliff Glen is one to note in the betting.
