CALIPTION was brought down when in contention on his only start over this trip but wasn't stopping when a close third over 2m4f at Wexford last week. He just gets the vote as Cooldine Bog was very close behind in fourth and there should be little between the pair again but Glocca Mora has never been anywhere near this trip so stamina has to be taken on trust. Varkhann has changed stables and made too many mistakes here in May while Ask Harry should do better with a set of obstacles to jump.
