A little keen early, soon raced in 3rd, slight mistake 4th, 2nd from next, slight mistake 3 out, pushed along into straight, jumped slightly left 2 out, one pace run-in op 5/1
American Tom (8/15), Road To Respect (9/2), Stone Hard (6/1), Some Plan (7/1)
Impossible to rule out any of this quartet in what should be tasty little race but there was much to like about AMERICAN TOM's recent success back from a year off and with his trainer in outstanding form, he may well score again. Some Plan might have preserved his perfect record over fences but for a fall at Cheltenham while Stone Hard could not have won easier at Limerick over Christmas. Road To Respect has nothing of Min's calibre to face today and should go well.
