61 Expert View: Needed every yard down in trip, returned to form landing a handicap by 3/4l off a 7lb lower mark at Navan last time; effective 10-12f, yet to fully convince with stamina for further; remains well treated on old form, could follow up.

Form Snapshot: Winner of seven races from 6f to 1m 4f on ground varying from good to yielding - soft and on the all-weather; has also won a hurdle. Won on her latest outing when 7-2fav at Navan over 1m 2f (good) earlier this month, beating Copper Craft by 3/4l. Carries a 7lb penalty today for that success.

Verdict

YOUNG CHURCHILL won a maiden hurdle for Noel Meade last summer and has dropped to an attractive rating on the Flat. The selection was narrowly denied at Limerick on Saturday and is well suited by a sound surface. Alto Sax has taken advantage of a basement mark to score twice this year and is raised 3lb in future handicaps having been just denied at Leopardstown last week. Arch Enemy is also effectively 3lb 'well-in' after being raised 10lb for winning at Navan on Saturday but gets in here with just a 7lb penalty, while Deuteronomy and Highway Sixty One are others to consider.

Top Tip: Young Churchill (3)
Watch out for: Alto Sax (9)

ALTO SAX has been in excellent form of late and should appreciate this step back up in trip. He was given far too much to do on his last try over this far and gets to race off the same mark as when runner up last time. Limestone Red is clearly a better horse on the AW but his mark reflects that and he wasn't disgraced over an inadequate 9f last time. He can chase the selection home ahead of last year's winner Tassarolo who is only 1lb higher this term.
