Jim Bolger won this last year and DREAM OF WORDS can stage a repeat for the yard. A winner over the track and trip in June, she led until fading close home over a mile at Leopardstown when carrying a penalty and can run from a 3lb lower mark here. Stormy Belle has returned to top form having followed her Cork victory with a very good run at the Curragh. She's won from higher marks in the past and will be difficult to keep out of the frame. Mayaadeen looked progressive when landing a Naas maiden but pulled too hard on his handicap debut at the Curragh and would have a chance if settling better but Thiswaycadeaux looked a bit high in the weights last time after going up 6lb for her Cork victory. Captain Dion is out of form but has dropped to a very fair mark as a consequence.
