Pak Army won this back in 2019 but hasn't been in the best of form unlike DRACO PULCHRAC, who followed a good run at Navan with a convincing victory here last week. Tony Martin's charge has been raised a massive 11lb but this doesn't look much tougher and he can go in again. Cursory Exam won here last October and bounced back to form with a very good run under a big weight at Clonmel while Guild has mainly been racing over further since scoring here last autumn. Lamprog was in excellent form in the spring and has continued to run well from her raised mark so looks to have every chance of some prize money.
