Pandora Lovegood (15/8), Congo River (10/3), Goa Gajah (7/2), Ard Mhacha (5/1), Yamazaki (9/1), Thunderbear (10/1), Approaching Bear (11/1)

The fact CONGO RIVER has gone off at a short price on both starts suggests he's well regarded at Ballydoyle and, with a tongue tie to possibly help, he is taken to come good now switching to a handicap. Fellow joint top weight Goa Gajah should have more to offer on the back of his Down Royal maiden success and can provide the chief threat.
