Hugbensin has been raised a couple of pounds since finishing third at Wexford last month and Moses McCabe's grey may have to give best to HEAVENLY BOUND in this. Seamus Fahey's nine-year-old is lightly raced for his age and was back to his best when runner-up at Sligo in May. A repeat of that effort would probably suffice here. The others look a moderate bunch but neither Sailon Silvergirl nor Prayer From Heaven could be discounted if putting their best foot forward.
