The penny may finally be dropping for Tree Of Knowledge, who has undoubtedly improved over his past couple of starts, but preference is for FATHER MATTIE. He has been running some fair races on the Flat recently but has also showcased ability over hurdles in the past as well. Around 2m on good ground should prove to be his optimum in time, and so he is taken to get the better of Joseph O'Brien's charge, who may prefer things softer. Having won a bumper, Mischievious Max is one of the only horses in the field to have won any kind of race, and he another worth considering.
