Dermot Weld won this a year ago and is dually represented with CELEBRITY SEVI and El Toreros. The former looks the better of the pair and is expected to make significant progress on his debut run at the Curragh in October. He can prove too strong for the exposed Massabini, who has shown decent form in three starts at Leopardstown but may need further. Giant Step made his debut behind the classy Casamento at Tipperary in August and will know more about the game this time while Luggers Hall ran well enough behind Sapphire at the Curragh last month to suggest he can get involved. Kilbirnie cost a fortune and is related to a host of winners so is definitely one to keep on the right side.
