The Dermot Weld-trained HIGHTIMEYOUWON can land the sppoils at the fifth time of asking on seasonal debut under jockey Oisin Orr. The four-year-old has been gelded since his last effort 12 months ago in a Gowran park 7f maiden finishing second of 10 runners. El Padre for trainer Adrian Murray can improve on his debut effort earlier this month at Roscommon over 7f and emerge as the biggest danger. Papa Bear in first-time cheekpieces and the Tom Mullins-trained Joven can compete for remaining prize money.
