Caesar's Comet had a very busy summer, scoring over this trip at Leopardstown in July and not beaten far in his last two starts here. LINUS LARRABEE has never won but has been performing well and finished strongly under a big weight here last month. He's 3lb lower and the inside berth can enable him to finally get off the mark. Ban Og makes her debut on the track and has her first start in a handicap and steps up in trip. She's only had four runs and has the scope to do better so looks a threat as does Praying Mantis, another lightly-raced type who didn't quite get the run of the race over a mile here last time.
