Catwilldo went up 9lb for her victory at Down Royal last month and is another 4lb higher after finishing a nose behind Bunce at Ayr. CALM BAY gets the vote as he won a Navan handicap last month and that sort of form would see him difficult to beat though his stable also run Acroleina, who has Pat Smullen on board. Ucanchoose hasn't won for over a year but did a bit better at Cork last time and has dropped to a winnable mark. The front-running Clear Focus has been racing over much longer trips and leading for much of the way so she's likely to take some catching in what is a moderate handicap.
