This looks between the two winners Slige Dala and WESEEKHIMHERE. Both were impressive winners at Galway, Joseph O'Brien's charge scoring easily over 2m2f and Gordon Elliott's four-year-old cantering home over this trip. The 5lb age allowance may just swing things in favour of the latter. Derek O'Connor's presence on the newcomer Furkhan, who is bred for the Flat, can see him chase the principals home.
