Billy Lee gets on well with DASHEEN and the partnership could extend their record together to three from three in this contest. Soft ground appears to be the key to his chances, so his recent flop at Fairyhouse is easily forgiven. He's on career-high mark now, but back on this type of ground his excellent rider can give him every chance to deft it. The veteran Bubbly Bellini remains in good heart and joins the likes of former C&D winners Eco Eye, Aspen Belle and Cosmic Symbol on the shortlist while Keep Believing is not ruled out of the equation.
