With 11 going to post it is hard to see past the chances of PROTAGONIST as he bids to land the hat-trick. The Jessica Harrington-trained, Wooton Bassett gelding has been rejuvenated since a move from the yard of Jamie Osbourne, winning at Gowran Park and Fairyhouse last month. The 16lb rise since his first win may not be enough to stop his progression despite the likes of Sonnyboyliston, winner at Gowran Park last month, the Aidan O'Brien-trained Delphi and Baby Zeus for trainer Ger Lyons all providing stiff opposition.
