Surprisingly, there isn't a course winner among these but FOOTPRINT has gone close on a couple of occasions and showed his wellbeing with a victory at Sligo last month. He's only been raised 3lb so is taken to follow up with Connor King's claim a bonus. Wexford Opera was less than a length behind the selection at Sligo and is 4lb better off so must have a chance of reversing the form while Bubbly Bellini has generally performed at a higher level, including behind Watchable at the Curragh on Saturday, and he's now slipped to a winnable mark. Toccata Blue had In Salutem close up in second when scoring at Gowran in June and there's very little between the pair here while Seanie has been dropped 2lb despite running his best race for some time at Naas recently.
