J: W J Lee

T: Thomas Gibney

Grand handicapper, but marksman has had his measure for some time; best run this year was when second in premier handicap, under Lee, at the Curragh (1m) on Derby weekend and also creditable fourth in the Irish Cambridgeshire; slow start and never involved at Leopardstown last Saturday; might race prominently and could go well, but 7f is a bit sharp for him.

Form & Verdict
Both wins last year came on soft, notably late-season premier handicap here over 1m; last week's Galway third (in first-time cheekpieces, now left off) was his best of the season but this trip is unknown territory and 2lb wrong.
