Wide open stuff here and perhaps ODIT and Denis Hogan will improve a place on their Clonmel second over the trip recently. He was squeezed out at the second last having got to the front, made a mistake and lost some momentum, before rallying to regain second. Inched up just a pound in the rating, he'd dangerous. The Church Gate has gone up 8lb for his win and is in deeper water now while both Smithscorner and Arctic Light are worth considering. Mighty Stowaway has more weight on but is in form while the drop in trip can help Wee Small Hours.
