PUB TALK (2) resumed with a 3.8L sixth over 6f at Dundalk. Taken to deliver third win of his career. ROYAL PIPPEN (1) finished 5.8L fifth in a 7f handicap at Galway October last year. Strong claims against this field. NIBRAS RAINBOW (4) disappointed as favourite attempting a 7f handicap at The Curragh in October. Rates highly with a top jockey secured making seasonal reappearance. ROYAL TRIBUTE (13) is another with a leading rider booked. Of note despite failing to shine when downfield at Dundalk just under two weeks ago.
