Supasundae makes his handicap debut and has competed at a very high level since easily beating Silver Concorde on heavy ground here a year ago. Fire In Soul is another having his first handicap run and he quickly reverts to hurdles after finishing a long way behind Min over fences at Navan. DE NAME ESCAPES ME looked a fine prospect when landing a novices' event last November and though beaten at the Punchestown Festival could be well in for his return to action and gets the vote. Morga has been in very good form on the Flat and over hurdles but keeps going up in the weights without winning while Desoto County would probably need the ground to turn heavy. The four-year-old Swamp Fox is 16lb higher than his last victory while another youngster, Light That, only scrambled home from today's rival Sound Money in a novice hurdle at Gowran. Okotoks has looked a decent prospect and could be a blot on this handicap though has a long absence to overcome while That's A Wrap has gone up 8lb since completing a double at Navan and this is much tougher.
