This looks a very tough one for punters to unravel. Ucanchoose likes a bit of cut in the ground but an absence since July is off-putting and last year's winner Doonard Prince hasn't won subsequently and is still higher in the weights. Jealika gained a shock victory at Limerick though it didn't look a fluke and she holds Sofi's Spirit on that run. LADY RANGER was brought with what looked a well-timed challenge by Robbie Dolan to lead at Navan but was headed right on the post. She's 4lb higher here but her young rider can use his claim again so she can go one better. Barbeque is getting closer to winning and Cappadocia found 5f too short at Dundalk having scored over this trip previously.
