Sors won this a year ago on heavy ground and again showed his liking for the stiff uphill finish when winning again in October. He was conceding 7lb when beaten 3l by Aspen Belle at Naas in November but should get closer on the revised terms. GOPSIES DAUGHTER has also won twice around here and has the advantage of a recent run. She's only 3lb higher than when completing a Curragh double last summer and gets a tentative vote in a very tricky contest. Dapper Power makes his handicap debut after beating Peshkova a neck here in October and they meet on the same terms whole Shore Step will be winning again soon though he needed last season's reappearance before completing a double at the Curragh. Alans Pride returned after a break to beat a huge field on the latter track in May though that was over 7f on testing ground.
