SECURITY BREACH came to this race in winning form last year and finished a close third to stablemate Call Me Bubbles. He's only had three subsequent runs and will be spot-on so gets the nod. Off The Charts has won three of his last four, including when beating a huge field at Punchestown in May on his latest start. He's up another 6lb but should still get involved as should the lightly raced and progressive Clara Mc Cloud, whose head second to Aranhill Chief has been boosted by the winner here this week. Cape Glory completed a double over 2m4f then found dropping back in trip against him so he's on the short-list as is The Parishioner. The latter's trainer knows how to win these big Galway handicaps and the five-year-old is nicely weighted with his rider claiming 5lb. Celestial Prospect wasn't suited by soft ground when just seeing off the attentions of Sweet My Lord at Cork, his fourth success over hurdles, and he's expected to go well despite a huge weight.
