SENSE OF AWARENESS had an absence of two years before returning last summer and gained his first success since with a smooth victory at Tramore where he took advantage of fast conditions. He's been raised 5lb for that and Rayhani, who finished third, can get closer without managing to reverse the form. Carrleoni has been racing over further and not quite managing to get home so a return to this trip looks just what's required and he can go well as can the very consistent Native Palm, who will be having just his third start over fences but who has produced two very good efforts at Galway and Tramore.
