Eglish gained the last of his four track victories in this race a year ago from a 1lb lower mark and has been running well without finding a finishing burst. LIMIT LONG (NAP) won from his Turf mark of 62 over this trip at Laytown then took advantage of a lower all-weather mark to score over 1m2f here last week where he made all. Back on 62 for this and with Jamie Powell's claim to aid his cause he can complete a hat-trick. Roxette has never run here but has dropped to a winnable mark while Malaysian has only won on Turf though led for a long way over a mile here last week. Sunset Nova won over 6f under Jake Coen here last month but has no problems with the extra and is very consistent.
