TIFFILIA has been staying on strongly at the end of her races over 1m2f so with this longer trip sure to suit and a lenient looking mark she looks the one to be on. Jimtown will be having his first start over the trip but wasn't stopping at the end of 1m3f at Killarney last time so he's another who should be suited. The lightly-raced Daliyan is making his handicap debut from a lowly mark and has shown enough to suggest he could be well in while a strong gallop would help Discovery Bay, whose only victory came over 2m though he finished in front of Lady Bennett over the C&D last time. The versatile Pires won a chase at Cork in April but has been placed three times on Polytrack and can never be written off.
