Joseph O'Brien has won this twice in recent years and SUGAREE (NAP) could have got in lightly for her handicap debut. An impressive winner of a Leopardstown maiden over this trip, she looks the type to go on to better things. The versatile Effernock Fizz is likely to find this too short while Youcrackmeup's easy victory at Galway was on heavy ground and he's 10lb higher. No Niki No has been racing over shorter though did win over the trip in France while Esquiline appeared to find soft ground against her at Leopardstown. None of the remainder can be ruled out in a tight handicap.
