Otherworldly’s second start produced the strongest performance figures in the field, recording an RPR of 88 and Topspeed figure of 68. Stall two should help him secure a good position, and Joseph O’Brien’s yard is in strong form.

Vicar Street possesses strong hurdle form, including a second at this meeting last year behind a horse who later finished runner-up in the County Hurdle. This longer trip should suit, and he looks the most likely runner to improve significantly over fences.

Antrim Coast finished second in this race last year and returns from a 2lb lower mark. His recent Wexford run should have sharpened him up, and the combination of proven course form, stamina and a workable weight makes him a strong each-way contender.

This Songisforyou has previously run well at the Galway Festival and showed signs of returning to form at the Curragh. A favourable draw is particularly valuable over this course, while the yielding-to-soft ground should place the emphasis on his stamina.
