A lucrative and very competitive handicap. HIGHTIMEYOUWON was in stall 24 when landing this a year ago and is in 27 today. He continued in good form throughout last summer and will be better for his comeback at The Curragh. Riot finished in front of him in the latter race and should go well along with stablemate Baradar, who was having his first start for the yard when a very good third to Irish Lincoln winner Raadobarg, another from the yard, at Tipperary. Blairmayne bounced back to form at Naas while Mutasarref completed a double at Leopardstown though has the worst of the draw. Massaman, another in top form, has also been handed a low berth which makes things difficult. San Andreas is generally thereabouts in this type of race and only just failed to hang on in the All-Weather Mile Championship at Newcastle.
