No favourite has won this in the last 10 renewals but Misty Lady scored a year ago before following up at Gowran so this is her time of year. ST STEPHENS GREEN will be among the market leaders after his easy victory in a Killarney maiden though it was his previous run when beaten a length by Heartbreak City at Galway that points to his obvious chance as the winner followed up in the Ebor Handicap. Rupert Lamb wasn't beaten far in that Galway event and invariably runs well in this sort of grade, as does Bentelimar, who ran a fine race in the Galway Hurdle. Jack The Wire is progressing nicely though this is much tougher than his maiden victory at Galway and he was just behind Bitview Colin at Killarney earlier.
