On a day that could prove fruitful for Irish raiders, Paul Stafford's SMUGGLER'S STASH is fancied to land his third C&D win after looking as though he was coming back to form with fair runs in his last two outings. Spoils of War could prove a danger to the selection and is well worth a try at this longer trip, while joint top weight Master Rajeem cannot be ruled out despite his welter burden. 1. Smuggler's Stash 2. Spoils Of War 3. Master Rajeem
