Chapter Eleven won this a year ago from 4lb higher but has been in poor form recently. Khan Tengri makes a quick reappearance after a close third at Sligo on Thursday but looks a few pounds high in the weights after last month's victory at Tipperary. Tough Mark has also gone up in the weights but hasn't run badly and should get into contention though he's held by OFFSIDE RULE on their run at Clonmel in June and it's Michael Cullen's mare who gets the vote following a fine placed run at Wexford. Mattara showed improved form at Sligo last time but still looks too high in the handicap while Swift Lady has a career record of 0-31 so can hardly be trusted. Rawnaq hasn't shown much over hurdles for a long time but produced a tremendous run on the Flat at Galway last week and would be a big threat if able to transfer that form to timber.
