Duty Bound won over course and distance last summer and following a winter break, may benefit from his latest run on the Flat at Navan. Maxios Prime has been a model of consistency and merits respect off a light weight while Therellbguddaysyet was reappearing after a lengthy break when a creditable fourth behind Ndaawi at Cork last month.
