Plenty are in with a shout. CHALLY CHUTE didn't enjoy the rub of the green when tenth at the Curragh last time and can take advantage of a 3 lb drop in the weights to bag a second success of 2023. Solar Breeze is unexposed over this trip and feared most on the back of her impressive Navan success, with Imaginarium, Star Harbour, Moracana and Smooth Tom all in the mix too in a highly competitive event.
