Some Drama is still a maiden after 14 starts over hurdles and has gone up in the weights again after last month's second at Fairyhouse. King Blue gained his first success with a very convincing victory on heavy ground at Cork in March but has gone up 9lb and this looks tougher. Klinnsman ran his best race over timber on his handicap debut at Tipperary though he's never raced beyond the minimum trip but DISPUTED made a winning debut for Gordon Elliott on that same track last month and, with further progress likely, looks the one to beat. Josephine Marcus undoubtedly improved for first-time blinkers at Downpatrick and, if they have the same effect here, she'll be difficult to keep out of the frame. Binowagh Bay has done well since arriving from the UK and dropping back in trip shouldn't be a problem.
