The Hannon team sent Sky Lantern to win this in 2012 and GREAT PAGE represents the yard here. She looked very smart when making a successful debut at Windsor but was surprisingly beaten by stablemate Illuminate at Salisbury, though she was conceding 6lb and the winner could be out of the top drawer. Another UK raider, Karl Burke's Millennium Falcon, will need to improve from her victory at Thirsk but wouldn't be coming here unless thought capable of doing so. Jim Bolger usually does well in the race and Tipperary winner Taisce Naisiunta makes a quick reappearance after her defeat in a Listed race at the Curragh. She's likely to do better than stablemate Special Focus while both Promised Money, a battling winner at Cork, and Rue Bonaparte, who looked a nice prospect when scoring here last month, can also go well.
