This is wide open but FIXATION made a very promising return when runner-up in a big-field Leopardstown handicap and can go one better here at the chief expense of Gavin Cromwell's hat-trick seeking Fiver Friday. Yulia also commands plenty of respect having not enjoyed the rub of the green when fifth for her new yard at Sligo. Iron Fist and Perry Mason also need factoring into this highly competitive handicap.
