DEFINITE PLAN has done very little wrong on his three appearances under Rules to date and he can record his second victory on his handicap debut here as he remains open to improvement. Calvary Master is likely to make the running and should be in contention at the finish as he looks to add to his success at Punchestown last time, while Drop The Anchor can fill up the placings from a 8lb higher mark than his victory at Punchestown on his latest start.
