Mokhalad was in top form early last summer and won here from a 5lb lower mark. He was back to his best over 6f at Naas last time and will take some beating though LORD RAPSCALLION (NAP) has the benefit of his rider's 10lb claim and can get back on the winning track. The form of last week's third place at Leopardstown was boosted at the weekend and Johnny Murtagh remains in cracking form. Sirjack Thomas started favourite in that latter event but finished last with his rider reporting no luck in-running. Mutadaawel went up 4lb for a short-head victory at Dundalk and is raised another 5lb for winning by the same distance at Navan last month. He should be thereabouts again while Royal Highness has found 7f just too short in her last two runs on Turf though is 11lb higher than her last victory at Dundalk.
