Markievicz beat a huge field in this a year ago when rated 49 and drawn 27. He's 9lb higher after last month's Navan victory but Conor Stone-Walsh will again be on board. Admiral Nelson overcame an SP of 40/1 to beat a big field over Cork's straight 7f and should go well despite a 5lb rise. Lady Arwen has changed yards since a close third in the latter event and looks a threat to all. MIDNIGHT FIRE's victory here in April came on heavy going but he's won on quicker going here and has the best of the draw so gets the vote. Stablemate Gegenpressing has dropped to a fair mark.
