100/1
Won over fences at Wexford last summer, but not at his best recently, and makes scant appeal in a race of this nature on his belated return to the Flat.

Mud-lover who won at Navan last year on heavy ground. Below best on his return there last month, but this is easier, for all he would have preferred rain.

16/1
Won a maiden at Navan and minor event at Roscommon in 2017, but lightly raced since, and needs to demonstrate that he retains all his old ability before he can be backed with confidence.

20/1
Smart performer at his peak for Mick Channon, but missed 2018, and just a fair comeback at Leopardstown earlier in the month, and longer trip not ideal.

12/1
Smart juvenile for Charlie Hills, but failed to hit the heights last year, and only eighth on debut for new yard in the Gladness Stakes last time, albeit not beaten far. Needs to find his old form now.

2/1
Won the Gladness Stakes last year, and lightly raced since. Much better than the result when seventh in corresponding event this term, and has a big chance dropping in class now.

Age: 5|  Weight: 9-5| J: O J Orr(3)| T: T Doyle| OR:  94| D
8/1
Useful handicapper who has been high in the weights for a while, and is running better than form figures would imply. This is on balance a slightly easier task than he's faced for a while, and he holds place claims.

Drombeg Dream32
Age: 4|  Weight: 9-4| J: S Foley| T: A Leahy| OR:  98| D
11/1
Won her final two starts on testing ground last season, and while she was behind Ilex Excelsa in the Park Express Stakes on her return, she is entitled to go much closer with that run under her belt.

Iiex Excelsap32
Age: 4|  Weight: 9-4| J: Chris Hayes| T: J A Stack| OR:  93| D
10/1
Dundalk maiden winner who might be flattered by her fourth in the Group 3 Park Express Stakes last time, having dictated the pace, but entitled to respect at this level of competition.

Age: 4|  Weight: 9-0| J: Paddy Harnett(10)| T: A Slattery| OR:  66| D
100/1
Out of a Grade 1 winner in Argentina, but has just a maiden claimer win to her name in eight starts in the US, and looks overmatched on Irish debut.

Forecasts

Downforce (15/8), Psychedelic Funk (2/1), Spanish Tenor (8/1), Iiex Excelsa (10/1), Drombeg Dream (11/1), Nebo (12/1), Tiger Voice (12/1), Guessthebill (16/1), Lincoln (20/1), Mo Chara (100/1), Adimelo (100/1)

Verdict

PSYCHEDELIC FUNK is a classy sort on his day, and this represents a much easier task than he usually faces, so he's hard to oppose. Nebo has disappointed since his 2-y-o days, but is another who will appreciate this less exalted company, and is preferred to Downforce for minor honours.
