Onenightidreamed beat Aussie Valentine a length in this a year ago on heavy ground then landed a Group 3 in May in similar conditions. He hasn't been seen subsequently but obviously goes well fresh. The runner-up will be 9lb better off and arrives with a recent run at Dundalk behind him so must have a fair chance of reversing the form. SRUTHAN was only beaten a nose in that Group 3 and is 5lb better off. He found 1m2f too far on his final start in a Leopardstown Listed contest in October when Ashraf, who won the final race on the card here last year, was a close fourth. The selection made a successful return to action on this track in 2014 and is taken to repeat the process. Vivat Rex could go well at a big price as he completed a double at this time a year ago and is now with a trainer who can get one ready.
