Wisdom Mind (5/2), Atlas (4/1), Spiorad Saoirse (9/2), Ishebayorgrey (7/1), Nivvo (8/1), Pushaq (9/1), Gasta (11/1), Alhajjaj (20/1), Lily's Prince (20/1), Polly Glide (28/1)
ALHAJJAJ gets weight from all his rivals here and he was better than the bare result at Limerick last time. A 4lb drop from the handicapper would appear particularly lenient and given he was an all-weather winner when trained in England by Andrew Balding, he looks capable of making his presence felt in this. A break may have freshened up Nivvo while Gasta hasn't been beaten far on her last couple of starts, suggesting a return to the winners' enclosure may be imminent .
