Lighter on numbers than some but a trappy h'cap no less. Elizabethofaragon is progressing rapidly and has a handy claim to offset her latest penalty while Celtic Crown is another on the upgrade lately. Flying Scotsman might take a leap forward over this trip while handicap debutante Lilli Milena represents a trainer with such a formidable record at this festival. So many possibilities but the vote sits with the remarkably consistent DAZZLING DARREN. He's made real progress upped in trip since joining Gavin Cromwell and his trio of runner-up finishes at Roscommon have been by wafer-thin margins. If the blinkers have an effect, he might fly home to trump this lot.
