Joseph O'Brien, who won this last year, has three entries with Fisherman's Beach possibly the pick after a promising introduction at Limerick. Milwaukee has been a beaten favourite the last twice and found little when push came to shove but Feathertop made a bright start over a trip too short at Gowran and normal progress will see her in contention. The latter's yard is also represented by HARDPOINT, a son of Camelot and a half-brother to three winners, two of them at Listed level over this trip. Stable jockey Shane Foley takes the ride and can steer the son of Camelot to an opening victory.
