EXPOUND is now only 1 lb higher in the weights than for his success in this race last year and, having shown encouragement on his first 2 starts this season, he is taken to bounce back to winning ways. Lough Leane got back on track last time and is dangerous from his current mark, with Merlin The Wizard completing the shortlist.
