VERDICT: Fort Vega ran well in two recent Curragh handicaps and is suited by soft ground. A half-brother to Classic-placed Vespertilio, the selection won twice last year and having run well in the Lincoln in March, again ran well over that same course-and-distance later that month. Artful Approach is similarly reliable. Initially tried in sprint handicaps, his form at this distance is very consistent and is just 1lb higher than at Leopardstown. He is generally held-up so today's inside draw is of no real benefit, but he has soft-ground form. Masoun and Lord Church are closely matched on a Cork meeting last June and while each did very well last year, might now prefer a longer distance.
