Above The Law signalled a return to form at Navan earlier this month when runner-up to Pixie Spirit and came out the following day to score at Dundalk. He's now on his highest ever mark but his rider can claim his full allowance and a bold bid is expected. Doonard Prince shot up 8lb for his victory here in April but he's continued to run well and has to be a threat to all. Chillie Billie is running well but he's 12lb higher than his only victory to date so the vote goes to LA CANAADA. She generally sets a strong gallop and doesn't always find a great deal but she's gone well on her two latest starts and, as she can't go much lower in the weights, she can take this tricky handicap. Lady Ranger and Almadaa are others to consider while Joseph O'Brien's presence on Jembatt is interesting.
