HIGHER KINGDOM shaped as if back in form at Leopardstown last time and has a good chance on these terms. Recent form counts for plenty in events such as this so Yorkshire Glory and Sandinyourshoes are feared most.

Showed promise when third in 2 recent handicaps, including in a field of 20 at Naas. Seventh of 16 in 9f handicap at Leopardstown (12/1) 17 days ago, shaping as if back in form despite being slowly into stride. Should appreciate return to 1m and good chance on these terms.
