The last five winners have been drawn in double figures and the previous two were drawn nine. Those statistics appear to rule out Charismas Birthday though she's been running well enough to figure. Strategic Heights is also lowly berthed but would have an obvious chance if able to repeat his excellent second to Imperial Legend at Ayr. Bangalore Diamond gained his first-ever success over 6f at Dundalk and an 8lb rise looks harsh and Big Bad Lily is better on quicker ground. UNDER REVIEW has won on Fibresand, on the sand at Laytown, and on Polytrack at Kempton but never on Turf. Seamie Heffernan was on board for two of those victories and though his mount isn't in the best of form he's dropped to an attractive mark and can take advantage.
