The vote goes to OLD CHAP, who gained his breakthrough success over this C&D in August and wasn't beaten at all far when sixth in a 15-runner race at Killarney last time. Celine Man took a step forward when runner-up on his final start for Mark Fahey during the spring and could be a threat if able to build on that upped in trip for his new yard. Mick Charlie, a winner at Fairyhouse last time, and Gigantamax Eevee both enter calculations, too.
