In a race where nothing can be ruled out, the in-form LA HACIENDA gets the nod to defy a 4lb rise for completing a double at Killarney. She would probably prefer further but the conditions will play to her strengths. Kojin is also on a hat-trick but arrives with a 7lb penalty and this looks more competitive than his two recent victories. Baby Zeus ran very well in a premier handicap at the Galway Festival, as did Dutch Schultz, though the latter would prefer further, while Dancila has found his form and looks on a very fair mark. Temple Of Artemis couldn't handle Group 3 company over 1m6f at the Curragh but would have a chance on his earlier victory at Chester.
