PERCEVAL LEGALLOIS was set to go close when crashing out at the last in a Grade 3 handicap at Leopardstown in February so tops the shortlist down in class racing off 2 lb higher. Low-mileage 10-y-o Tactical Move was an excellent second to Spillane's Tower in a Grade 1 novice at Fairyhouse 5 weeks ago so is next best ahead of his unexposed stablemate Mister Policeman.
