FormscanBy Alan Magee - MAKE A CHALLENGE makes a quick reappearance following an impressive win in a Listed race at the Curragh on Saturday. The Denis Hogan-trained gelding has progressed in leaps and bounds since beaten off a mark of 66 just 15 months ago and appears equally effective over five and six furlongs. His ability to handle testing ground is also crucial here with the meeting in some doubt due to waterlogging. El Astronaute is another admirable sort with 12 career wins including last year in a Listed race at Cork and the Rockingham Handicap off top-weight. He coped with soft ground when narrowly denied at Hamilton last time. Urban Beat gave the selection a fright at the Curragh last month and is not without a chance, while Rapid Reaction was only beaten a nose in this race 12 months ago.
