Battle Of Benburb stepped up to this trip and scored at Wexford before failing to stay 3m3f on very fast ground at Sedgefield. He's 6lb higher than his victory but it will be a surprise if he's not there at the finish. BALLYGLASS BEAUTY had hinted at better to come on his two previous starts before scoring over the trip at Kilbeggan. He's been raised 7lb but should still take care of third-placed Camilla's Choice and looks the one to beat. Bearwithmenow was a comfortable winner over the trip at Wexford and started favourite at Tipperary next time but fell while in mid-division. Gibbet Hill led until headed in the dying strides over 2m6f at Downpatrick so has to be considered.
