Bubbly Bellini won this last year and though 11lb higher he's continued to perform well in better races than this. He had An Saighdiur behind at Naas in April but the latter is better off at the weights and should get closer. Master Speaker's placed effort in a premier handicap at the Curragh last month is excellent form and a repeat would see him in the picture. However, IN SALUTEM was disqualified after finishing second in that event and has since been unlucky in-running over the minimum trip back there so deserves a change of fortune. Fast In The Wind hasn't won since his debut in 2013 but came very close to doubling his tally at Fairyhouse when beaten a head by Lily's Prince, who found 5f too sharp at the Curragh on Tuesday.
