The 12/1 Lost Signal is a very big price IF he shows up in the Esher Cup on Friday. Really should be running as it’s his last chance to run off this mark and he’s not up to Group company.

The 20/1 An Peann Dearg in the Handicap chase at Leopardstown on Saturday is interesting. There is obviously a chance he has gone at the game but his last piece of form was when bolting up in this a year ago and the yard are in a nice vein of form.
