Georges Conn has flattered to deceive on a couple of occasions including when narrowly beaten at Kilbeggan. He should get involved in the finish but HE IS TOP CLASS (NAP) may prove too resolute for him. It's a long time since he pulled up on his only start over fences and he's been in excellent form over hurdles recently. Jansboy and Moonlight Boy both have plenty of experience over fences which should stand them in good stead if the ground turns testing but Old Theatre Royal hasn't been out for a year. Railway Icon made a reasonable start over fences at Killarney and wouldn't need much more to get into the frame.
