SLADE STEEL (6) returned from a break with a solid third beaten 1. 5L tackling a 2m4 1/2f race at this track before disappointing last time over 3m1/4f at Punchestown. Capable of better and warrants another chance. WINGMEN (8) was beaten a small margin in a 2m6f chase at Fairyhouse sixteen days ago. Current form puts him right in the mix again. PATTER MERCHANT (5) could not replicate the previous good effort when a well beaten fifth contesting 2m5 1/2f at Leopardstown. Can be considered. SPREAD BOSS TED (7) resumes from a long absence. Only seen once last campaign when sixth attempting 2m4f at Fairyhouse. Open to improvement.
