Only five runners have been declared for this G3 contest. DINOBLUE (4) and SIR GERHARD (3) look hard to separate. The former reappears off the back of two good victories in valuable handicaps at Fairyhouse and Punchestown while the latter is a dual G1 Cheltenham Festival winner though was pulled-up when last in action. Preference is for the first mentioned who is better off at the weights and was successful resumed on her seasonal reappearance last year. FIL DOR (1) boasts some decent graded hurdle form. Will need to improve his jumping in chases to feature. PANDA BOY (2) looks well held following a fourth of five effort in a similar race at Punchestown last month.
