Micky The Steel had Notoriously Risky a neck behind when runner-up over 5f at Navan recently with Inishmot Prince running on well into fifth and Haemje well beaten. The former was staying on the better so the longer trip should be in his favour. Prince Hector has been showing good pace over further so dropping back in trip could do the trick but CARLTON BANKS ran so well at the Curragh that a repeat would probably suffice. Jonny Levins' charge stayed on strongly that day after missing the break and normal progress can see him go one better.
