Sassaway won this a year ago and is 3lb lower but prefers quicker ground. A FEW DOLLARS MORE loves the conditions as he showed at Cork when beating Shanghai Beauty two lengths. He's been raised 7lb and this is more difficult but he still has scope and can complete a double. Bluesbreaker made a successful handicap debut on heavy going at Cork but didn't run up to that form in a better contest at the Curragh while Oor Jock, though consistent, hasn't won since 2014. The latter had Sweetest Taboo behind when runner-up at Dundalk last week but Willie McCreery's mare was having her first start since October and should have improved enough to take her revenge.
