Dedillon won this last year but arrived in much better form having scored at Dundalk earlier. Plunkett isn't the most consistent so a 9lb rise for his recent Gowran victory may prove a step too far. Dha Leath won on soft ground at Navan so more rain would aid her cause while it was very testing when Macho Time won at Gowran in October. CHURCH MOUNTAIN, who scored twice at Galway last summer, didn't get the clearest of runs on his reappearance at Leopardstown and, with that under his belt, can return to winning ways. Talbot has been going well enough at Dundalk and could be suited by a return to Turf.
