KOJIN hasn't done much wrong and stayed on strongly in a big field at the Curragh last time so can take this despite a 2b rise. Santa Florentina hails from a yard in superb form and makes her handicap debut after an improved run at Limerick while Ben Siegel was having his first start on Turf when runner-up over 1m3f at Killarney where Astrophysicist was a couple of lengths behind. Artistic Work looks best of the remainder.
