Nordic Passage is a fairly obvious starting place having won with a good deal of authority at Naas on Monday. He's got a 6lb penalty to contend with now however in a deeper race. Ger Lyons hasn't exactly hit the ground running (1-16) this week but his horses are generally running well and former Group 2 winner ARDHOOMEY makes plenty appeal from a mark of 90 here given his penchant for going well fresh. Verhoyen is another that goes well off a break; while Cityman is amongst the possible improvers and joins the very consistent Ice Cold In Alex and Dark Vader on the shortlist.
