J: Adam Caffrey

T: Adrian McGuinness

Brought over from Ireland for five British races and ran well every time, including when fourth in this contest last year and third in the Chester Plate last month; he didn't win any of them, though, and has taken just one Irish handicap; plenty seemingly needs to go right if he's to win this but he has a place chance despite wide draw.

Seen mostly on AW, including fourth of 20 in the Northumberland Plate at Newcastle (2m) last June; running well on AW this year and good effort back on turf at Chester last month, only fading late on over 2m3f; upped in grade here and could go well with rider's claim.

Undergoing very much a new lease of life, winning three of his last four, and a ride of 17lb could still be manageable; unproven over this trip but in the form of his life and will be popular with Oisin Murphy booked.

Dual-purpose; 2-14 over hurdles, the latest win coming off 5lb lower at Gowran (2m4f, soft) in October; not a bad run when fading in the closing stages at Punchestown latest (23.5f, yielding) after a break; sharper now, this shorter trip a plus and has run well here on the Flat; in the mix.

Verdict

The prolific Satono Chevalier will be popular but has to prove it over this trip. Gaoth Chuil is a classy performer and a repeat of her Leopardstown performance gives her every chance. Top-weight Tribal Star will appreciate the calmer waters of this contest. The vote goes to HARRY’S LEGACY, who narrowly failed over C&D in May and can be forgiven a very poor effort at Fairyhouse last time. [Justin O’Hanlon]
