A lucrative prize has attracted a very competitive field with Hollie Doyle on board Baby Zeus. Willie Mullins' charge landed a Curragh handicap on his first start for the yard in May though Mirann, who was only beaten half-a-length, is 12lb better off with his rider's claim taken into consideration. SALTONSTALL is another with an apprentice on board and he's been performing at pattern-race level since easily landing a Limerick handicap back in October. He gets the nod as he looks certain to go well as does Flying Visit, who won a Group 3 here the same month. Tauran Shaman had Mosala a neck behind here in May and the latter is 2lb better off and though Vultan has been in fine form over 1m4f he has no problems with the shorter trip. Bear Story looked to have a very good chance in the 4.55 at Fairyhouse yesterday.
