Denis Hogan has won this handicap a couple of times in recent years and his LIBERATE looks interesting fitted with headgear on the back of a couple of good runs in stronger races at the Curragh. The returning Rhythm King is a very interesting alternative, with Bay of Dreams and Lady Arwen also considered.
