Race preview
MACHIAVELLI was less than a length behind the winner when he finished third at Leopardstown last month and will take plenty of beating from just 1lb higher. Remmy D appears to have improved for a gelding operation and he could prove to be the main threat to the selection. Others to note are For Pleasure, Tullyallen and Well Why Not.
