The veteran Stratum has won over hurdles and fences since landing Royal Ascot's Queen Alexandra Stakes last June and will probably find this on the sharp side. Ger Lyons won this a year ago and has two entries with Colin Keane on board Camorra, a Group 3 winner at Leopardstown in September but well behind Jason The Militant on very testing ground at Naas later. Joseph O'Brien has three entries. Master Of Reality finds this on the short side these days while Fairyhouse maiden winner Okita Soushi finished last of three on his only subsequent start so Raise You, whose only run over a trip this far resulted in a six lengths victory on this track, looks best of the trio. WORDSWORTH, placed in the Derby here and the Grand Prix de Paris last summer, has been slightly disappointing subsequently but this looks a good opportunity to return to winning ways.
