Plenty arrive in very good form including Chiltern Hills, who has been gradually improving and had no problems landing a Sligo handicap last time. She'll be fancied to follow-up though Irish Soul will also be a tough nut to crack after battling on at Killarney. Jubilee Year was making his handicap debut when scoring with something in hand at Tipperary and though 10lb higher there looks plenty more to come. BRIAN WHO is in fine form at present, scoring at Fairyhouse in April before a really good effort behind Beau Michael at the Punchestown Festival. He's on his highest mark but this should prove within his capabilities.
