If able to bounce back from a poor pair of recent displays in the point-to-point sphere, then Optimised would have solid enough claims on the strength of his form last season including a second in this grade at Cheltenham. However, he has proved expensive to follow so is opposed as this looks to be fought out between recent C&D rivals MONBEG GOLD and O Ceallaigh. The former is taken to confirm the placings with the latter given he is 13lb clear of that rival on official ratings, yet is effectively only giving him 1lb with his riders claim taken into account. He may have needed the run when finishing in front of him when the pair met at the start of the month.
