The veteran Seanie is still up to this class as he proved at Dundalk though he appears better on that track these days. Military Hill won the race a year ago and though that was his only victory in 27 starts he hasn't been running badly in handicaps so it wouldn't be a shock if her produced a big run again. Elusive In Paris is a regular in these races and wins his share as he did on heavy ground at Clonmel so he's always to be respected but MUZBID is comfortably the pick on official ratings. A winner on good ground at Killarney a year ago, he's moved stables twice subsequently and his last two runs have been on ground much too testing. Rise Again won a Naas maiden on fast going but has hardly beaten one home in her three later runs.
