VOICE OF REASON has proven very effective over C&D, winning twice in the autumn and should appreciate returning to this trip after finding 16f beyond him last time. Trishuli River notched her fourth Dundalk success when scoring 28 days ago and despite a 5lb rise, she needs considering. Nakasero performs better on AW and should be suited by a stronger gallop than when hampered last time.
