Automated has had 17 starts without winning but has gone close in handicaps on his two latest runs so should get into the frame again. Valentana showed promise on her debut at Gowran and again on her next start here a month ago so she's also likely to be thereabouts but the vote goes to ALAMGIYR. Michael Halford's charge made a very encouraging debut at Navan in April and though it's an obvious concern that he's been absent since he should be ready for this. Presenting Julio had been running poorly over hurdles but did much better when a close third on his debut under Flat rules here last month.
