A devilishly competitive renewal in which TIGRIS RIVER is taken to improve on last year's unlucky fifth place finish in the hands of Barry Geraghty, having advertised his present well-being with two facile recent Flat wins. Max Dynamite looks the pick of the Mullins contingent, though Airlie Beach shouldn't be underestimated on his handicap debut, whilst the progressive trio Timiyan, Ornua and Western Boy are also respected. One who could go well at a price is former winner Thomas Edison after an eyecatching return from a lengthy absence at Tipperary recently.
