Sovereign Debt beat 2014 winner Chookie Royale in last year's renewal but is penalised for winning a Group 3 at Tipperary in October. The latter may well take his revenge today but a chance is taken Kevin Ryan has KELINNI somewhere near his best. The latter won a valuable handicap at Leopardstown last year before running well in a Grade 1 event at Keeneland in October and should go close. Mister Universe made a winning reappearance in a handicap at Lingfield a week ago but this is tougher. Realize has also been in fine form in handicaps over today's distance and beat a subsequent winner at Lingfield last time but also needs more.
