Willie Mullins has a tremendous strike-rate in staying races on the Flat and Foveros has a course and distance victory to his credit. GRAPPA NONINO is 3lb out of the handicap but had plenty in hand when scoring over 2m1f at Killarney and Dermot Weld has a very good record in this so the four-year-old gets the nod. Almuhit ran a fine race over 1m6f here last month and has no problems staying the extra while Sheishybrid, who finished a close fourth, was impeded at a crucial stage. Newfoundland has been a beaten favourite over shorter the last twice while Marvelosa's victory in May was in a 1m2f Sligo maiden.
