ATTENTION PLEASE showed a willing attitude to win this race last year and his grim determination will help him off-set a 13lb higher mark this time. The gelding acts well under the predicted conditions and looks worthy of a small investment in his bid for back-to-back wins. Bafana Blue is another with a likeable attitude and can play a strong supporting role, while Achill Road Boy and So Satisfied are a couple of others to keep tabs on in the betting.
