Alhaazm counted this among four successive victories on the track last winter and is surprisingly 1lb lower than his last success despite running well over a trip too far here in August. Meishar couldn't quite match strides with Trueba at Bellewstown last week but is 2-3 around here and looks to have every chance of adding to that total. Jungle Cove landed a Galway Festival handicap but couldn't make an impression on a return visit from 7lb higher so the vote goes to OZYMANDIS. A maiden winner here on just his second start in April, he returned from a break to run very well in a Curragh handicap last month and can get back on the winning trail.
