MONEY HEIST has made the frame off significantly higher marks over fences the last twice and is appealing back in this sphere and back up in trip. Indeed, he was a good third in a Down Royal handicap chase on his sole previous attempt at 3m under Rules. Next on the list is John Storey, who has gradually got the hang of things and opened his account at Fairyhouse last time. Game And Glory, Sammy Smart and The Miracle Man are others to consider.
