Verdict
Amma Grace won this as a three-year-old last year but Dermot Weld's filly isn't in the same kind of form. Georgeville is the highest-rated older horse having gone up 3lb for finishing a close sixth in a Group 2 here last month while Leo De Fury is up 2lb for scoring over 1m4f at Dundalk. Layfayette won the Irish Lincoln back in March and a Listed race at Roscommon in June for which he's penalised while Mythical has a touch of quality, though could find this on the short side. The latter's stable companion Sense Of Style has been keeping good company and showed a bit more dash at Gowran. Bear Story and LOUGH DERG had a battle royal in a Dundalk Group 3 and the latter should gain revenge on the revised terms so gets the vote in a tricky event.
