Half Nutz won this in 2021, one of three victories on the track, while IVA BATT beat a big field from a very wide draw over 5f on this card a year ago. The latter just failed to catch Blairmayne over the track and trip last month, with Jon Riggens close behind, and both should go well with preference just for the former but recent Bellewstown winner Rhythm King is best over further. Tawaazon is having his 12th start of the year but shows no sign of slowing down having gained his fourth success of that period at Navan, though a massive 12lb rise suggests this could be a step too far. Dream Today is consistent but couldn't concede 12lb to Tai Sing Yeh at Dundalk and though Dandyville is on a hat-trick he's generally needed his first run back and may have to wait for another day.
