A host in with chances but preference is for DANE FETE, who wasn't seen to best effect when down the field at Tipperary last month and this step up to 1½m could be just what Gavin Cromwell's charge requires to open his account. Libby is bred to stay so she's put forward as the main threat on handicap/yard debut, with Na Caith Tobac and Magnetic North a couple of others worth considering.
