DARTAN was in superb form at this time a year ago, winning this before scoring on Turf at Navan and over timber at Ballinrobe. He has a long absence to overcome but can get back on the winning trail. Dancing Tango won over 1m4f in December and didn't quite get the run of the race on a return visit a month ago. Burren Song's only success came over 1m2f but she's run well over timber and should have no problems staying the trip. French Company won over 1m2f here in January and is untested over the trip while Elzaamsan has never been further than 1m4f though was staying on over that trip last month. Firstman and March Law would be carrying big weights if getting a run from reserve spots while eleven-times winner The Jam Man is one to note in the market
