KHAFAAQ has returned to his best in recent weeks under Cian Horgan and though shooting up the weights has won from a higher mark here in the past so looks the one to beat. Colin Keane was on board when Complete Fiction scored at Leopardstown but not when he just failed to overcome an 8lb rise at the same venue. Mark Fahey has his horses in good nick and Dabana returned from a break to run very well on the latter track and though Starting Monday is on a long losing run he's won around here and has dropped to a winnable mark. while Tony Martin's Safari Quest and recent Listowel winner Arch Enemy are others to note.
