Ballycrystal Court remains unexposed over hurdles and has switched stables and undergone wind surgery since last seen in March. Any market support would be significant and Rivabodiva is also capable of running well after a break. The in-form Justatenner is upped in grade, however, along with recent course and distance winner Karingo. MIRO is fit from the Flat, has form on the track and is the type to find some improvement now upped in trip so he makes more appeal than stable companion Creadan Grae and veteran Man With Van.
Man With Van (IRE) 20-1 (11-12) Tracked leader early, soon towards rear, pushed along 4 out, soon weakened, 5th of 6, 10 1/2l behind Our Lucas (10-1) at Ayr 2m hcp (4) sft in Mar.

Ballycrystal Court (IRE) 9-2 (11-8) Keen, tracked leader until 8th, handy 3rd, ridden after 3 out, held when blundered next, weakened between last 2, 4th of 5, 13 1/4l behind Bedrock (12-1) at Musselburgh 2m 3f (4) gs in Mar.
Rivabodiva (IRE) 10-1 (10-8) Tracked leader, led before 5th, joined 2 out, soon headed, chased leader until the last, hung right and weakened run-in, 5th of 9, 7 1/2l behind Allthegear No Idea (10-5) at Perth 3m 3f hcp (3) sft in Apr.
Creadan Grae (IRE) 7-1 (11-12) Held up towards rear, 10th before 8th, no impression after 4 out, never a factor, detached and pulled up before 2 out, at Tramore 2m 6f gd in Aug.
