Ibsen was having his first start since September when a close third over 2m at Dundalk last week. He might find this on the short side but looks well handicapped and his stamina can come into play. However, SEA OF BLUE is a consistent performer at around this trip and though both of his victories have come at Dundalk he acts well enough on Turf and can take this for Ballydoyle. Alamgiyr stepped up to 1m3f at Killarney and ran his best race to date though he has a big weight to carry as does Last Garrison, who is better on testing ground. Lunada could provide the main threat as he was having only his sixth start when staying on strongly over 1m4f at Dundalk a couple of weeks ago.
