Power Drive, a five-times track winner, was in excellent form last winter and is gradually dropping down the weights. Spirituoso had been running well before scoring easily at Navan but found an 8lb rise too much to handle here next time when behind third-placed Dr Patrick. Ragtime Red is held on the latter run but PRO BONO won here in November and is 2lb lower so could be the one to beat. Numidia, who ran well at Down Royal last time, makes his all-weather debut and 10-times winner Eastern Racer has never won over a trip this far
