Dartan won over timber here in June and has the services of Derek O'Connor. Barnacullia was beaten narrowly over fences at Galway before easily landing a similar race to this at Leopardstown and is only 2lb higher. Kottayam won a two-mile maiden at Tramore a year ago but finished last on his return from a long break at Galway. HERCULANEUM was an easy winner of a 1m5f Down Royal handicap before a very good effort over a trip too short at Galway though the likes of Dundalk winner Khadaash and Aine O'Connor's mount Walking On Glass are others to note.
