Swift was in fine fettle a few days ago winning at Tramore and should go well despite the penalty he carries while Rockey Storm must enter calculations having put up a notable C&D performance last time out. Swordfight has been improving timber and is not out of this but perhaps Steamboat Quay is the more likely from the Elliott duo on the back of a solid final start last year. Former C&D winner Simiel needs positive tactics in all likelihood but could be dangerous from the front end but the vote goes with TALSARA who scored decisively at Punchestown recently and has the potential to improve again and defy the hike in the weights.
