Emeric completed a double here in the spring and gained another success at Leopardstown in July when he would have found a mile too short. He's only 3lb higher so has to be on the shortlist though the concession of weight to JABBAR may prove beyond him. The latter won on Tapeta when trained in the UK and has improved with every run for new connections so a 6lb rise for his latest success doesn't look enough to prevent a hat-trick. Caulaincourt makes his all-weather debut after a short-head defeat at Naas though he's 3lb higher and was ridden by a 7lb claimer. Time To Boogie won a Naas maiden in style and though outclassed in a Fairyhouse Group 3 could be well in here.
