PAIRC NA NGAEL scored cosily at Thurles last month and might be up to making light of a 9 lb rise in the weights. Henry de Bromhead's Sovereign Gold might be sharper for a comeback run here at the start of the month and is feared most ahead of Ragnar Lodbrok, who has scope off this opening chase mark mark based on hurdle ability.
