It's hard to ignore the clear and obvious chance of the Aidan O'Brien-trained MONUMENT VALLEY in this weak looking line-up. The three-year-old can improve on a couple of solid efforts at the Curragh and more recently at Cork to land the spoils of the Mick Halford-trained Alatar in the colours of the Aga Khan who ran well on return to action at Roscommon earlier this month. Custers Mistake for trainer Kevin Predergast and the Dermot Weld-trained Desert Highway will look to improve on their debuts runs, while Monopoly and Royal Free Hotel should be considered on their third career start.
