SUBLIME HEIGHTS: Following its run on 22/11/2022 it was reported that the trainer could not explain the poor run. ROSTELLO: Following its run on 28/9/2022 it was reported that the horse was hampered by fallers early-on. EXTRAORDINARY MAN: Following its run on 21/11/2022 it was reported that the horse tired in this its comeback race. Probable S.P’s: 9-4 Tip Top Mountain (IRE), 11-2 Sublime Heights (IRE), 6-1 Le Coeur Net (FR), 7-1 En Coeur (FR), 10-1 Rostello (FR), 12-1 Rebel Intentions (IRE), 14-1 Dindin (FR), 18-1 Extraordinary Man (FR), 66-1 Clondaw Robin (IRE)

PLAY SMARTER TIP TOP MOUNTAIN has a much more solid profile than the majority of these and looks sure make a bold bid to land this race for the second year running. En Coeur often saves his best efforts for this place so he’s feared most ahead of Dindin, who has dipped back to a workable mark.
