Form Of Praise won a handicap here in March from 2lb higher and was returning from a long break when well beaten on a return visit in September. Breezy Zoff wasn't beaten far on her only start here in March but was out of form for most of the summer until beating a huge field of handicappers on heavy ground at the Curragh. She's gone up 13lb which makes this tougher and INSTRUMENTAL may have her measure. A course and distance winner in September, he's continued in good form and Colin Keane gets the ride for the first time. Dark Note started favourite here last time on the back of a cracking run at Bellewstown but disappointed while French Rescue's shock victory at the Curragh came on soft ground.
