ACARI, who won this a year ago, finished behind Out Of Friday and Dance Emperor at Galway last month but neither he nor the latter got the run of the race. Both are weighted to gain revenge and Garry Caldwell's charge is taken to repeat last year's success. Dark Magic arrives in excellent form having won at Naas and Leopardstown in recent weeks, though he's shot up the weights accordingly. Roving Mission has never won but ran a fine race in a tough Galway handicap last time and should be winning soon while Legal Thriller showed her best form to date at Roscommon in June.
