A couple of the leading contenders are drawn out with the washing including Royal Navy Warship. The Ballydoyle colt makes his handicap debut on his reappearance while Zeeyalater finished closer at the Curragh last time but will also need luck in-running from a high draw. That being the case, a speculative vote goes to SEANIE, who was winning off a higher mark here last year and beat higher rated horses than these in a claimer over track and trip back in April. Clebourne won off a 3lb lower mark at the track in February and could also go well.
