Swamp Fox won this in 2017 before beaten a neck in the Galway Hurdle and is on his lowest subsequent mark. Sole Pretender won a handicap here in April and followed up easily at Wexford but has shot up the weights as a consequence while Lone Wolf has been looking a smart prospect in his races and was in touch when brought down in a tough handicap at Killarney. Cosmo's Moon looks a real threat to all after a cracking effort at Punchestown where he didn't get the best of runs. He's only 3lb higher and looks certain to get competitive but the vote goes to WATERVILLE DANCER, who didn't get the run of the race when beaten a neck at Killarney and can make amends. Crossed My Mind is another to consider after an impressive victory at Cork as a 7lb rise doesn't look excessive.
