Going - Good, Good to Yielding in places. Overcast, some light showers

Formscan By Alan Magee - PUTURHANDSTOGETHER had Courageous Strike just over a length behind in third when going down narrowly to Tachos over an extended 1m1f at Gowran last month. The Joseph O’Brien-trained gelding has progressed when steadily stepped up in trip and Courageous Strike subsequently gave the form a boost when successful here over 1m4f. Siege Of Troy carries topweight on handicap debut after winning a maiden over course and distance last month, while Gibbs Island had the staying on pair It’sonlyjustbegun and Slurricane behind when runner-up over a similar trip at Roscommon. Lord Church is bidding for a four-timer after beating Blackcastle Storm (won since) when moved up to 1m1f here last time.
