Mo Henry is a course and distance winner having gained a surprise victory earlier this month though he couldn't handle a 5lb rise at Fairyhouse on Sunday. Buttermere wasn't far behind in that former event and has the scope to do better while Aspen Belle has won twice in four starts this campaign but is 13lb higher than her latest victory and needs some rain. Bien Chase stayed on strongly to score over this trip at Fairyhouse and wasn't suited by the minimum at Navan while Doonard Prince, who completed a double at the Curragh in the autumn, is dropping to a very fair mark and any rain would enhance his prospects. I Will Excel has been racing over further but won over the minimum when trained in the UK though the vote in a wide-open handicap goes to DUCKY MALLON, who was in fine form around this time a year ago and has gradually dropped to a winnable mark.
