OSCAR KNIGHT ran a fine race at Leopardstown over Christmas to finish 5L third behind Noble Endeavour. He's 6lb higher for this contest but that form looks promising given the winner's excellent effort at Cheltenham this week off an 11lb higher mark. With winning form at this track already this season, he's fancied to carry on what has already been an excellent week for owner JP McManus. Retour En France got off the mark at the third time of asking recently and the mare should be capable of better but, having twice been beaten at short prices already, she is overlooked here. Kilcarry Bridge is respected too after last week's Gowran Park success while Jetstream Jack should go well for the Elliott team. Mick The Jiver has plenty on his plate but should give his running while Skellig Rocks would be preferred to last time out winner Carrigeen Acebo for place money.
