Dual course winner FASSBENDER (2) is yet to miss the frame in three outings tackling track and trip. The seven-year-old finished a good third over course and distance last time and may go close in a similar contest. Market support behind IN FOR THE NIGHT (1) would be interesting. This Champs Elysees gelding left his handicap debut effort well behind when second in a 1 ¹⁵⁄₁₆m Navan handicap hurdle and could do well if building on that. Sligo third (handicap hurdle) SKIP MAHLER (3) needs considering after a short break. ALWAYS FORCE IT (4) was fifth in the aforementioned Navan handicap and remains open to progress.
