Mt Weather won this a year ago from a 1lb higher mark but hasn't run since September. STATUE OF DREAMS arrives in very good shape and though he's 9lb higher than when scoring in heavy ground at Navan last month he again ran well at the Curragh last time and is handed the vote. Till Dawn, who was beaten 3l in that Navan event, can get closer on 10lb better terms but Ucanchoose is held on that latest effort at the Curragh. Dubai Kitten has been racing over much further and makes his handicap debut though he showed some potential at Limerick last month though the three-year-old Sunrise Song looks a bigger threat after performing with credit in big fields recently.
