Sean Says won this last year and has mainly been racing on the Flat and over hurdles subsequently. She's 1lb lower here so must have a chance of a double. King Ferdinand scored over 2m4f here in October, with Esthers Marvel ten lengths behind, but disappointed from 8lb higher when well supported at Galway ten days later. The latter has done better over hurdles the last twice while Costalita came from a long way behind when runner-up over 2m5f at Tramore. ARVENE made all over 2m3f at Kilbeggan in July and made a bold bid to repeat over 2m7f at Killarney in October. Providing the ground isn't too testing he can lead all here.
