Ben Curtis brought MISSY O' GWAUN home in great style at Tramore earlier this month and the combination have every chance of defying a 7lb rise and take this. After completing a double at Killarney, Goldplated couldn't handle a 9lb rise and was well beaten over the C&D at the Festival though that didn't look his true form. Neighbourly attempts this trip for the first time and looks likely to be suited. She's reasonably handicapped and looks a threat under Sam James while Joseph O'Brien's presence on Louisville Lip will ensure support. Crying Aloud, twice a winner on Fibresand at Southwell, has had 20 runs on turf without winning.
