Bay Hill has been in excellent form over jumps, scoring over fences at Wexford and hurdles at Bellewstown in the summer, and wins races in any conditions. Liars Corner has been in fine form and won on heavy going at Roscommon last month though is 10lb higher. HARVEST BOW was very impressive over timber at Ballinrobe last month and reverts to the Flat on what looks a fair mark so she looks the one to beat. Whitsunday Islands has never won and tackles the trip for the first time but Hurricane Sky scored over 1m7f at Leopardstown before finding fast ground against him on a return visit.
