Surprisingly the last four favourites have won this, though the previous three winners were all big prices. Dermot Weld has won two of the last four and MAGIC KITTEN looks to have been primed for this. He showed nothing in three Polytrack maidens before starting 20/1 and romping home on his handicap debut at Gowran. He'll undoubtedly improve again and looks much better than a 61-rated handicapper. Park Ranger scored over timber at the meeting a year ago but appears to have plenty of weight here and a bigger threat looks to be Bog War, who has been in tremendous form over hurdles and can revert to the Flat on a very lowly mark. Swamp Fox caught the eye in no uncertain terms at Killarney while the lightly-raced Azamesse hails from a yard going places and Gary Halpin's claim will aid her cause.
