CAPTAIN MAY finished runner-up to Parramatta in this a year ago and has had just three subsequent runs. He looked on the way back to form at Tipperary last time and can go one better this year. Flying Light has shown ability at Dundalk but this looks too short as is does for King Of Oriel, who has been hurdling this summer. Gun Shoot is another whose best form has been over further while That's Plenty, though having some decent form at the trip, has had enough chances and hasn't run since Dubai in March.
