In depth

Verdict

Dashwood made a successful raid at Ayr last week but will find this tougher off a higher mark. Shabra Emperor had Mr Bounty back in fourth when scoring at Dundalk in March. He can race off a lower mark in this given he's yet to win in 18 starts on Turf. San Gabriel was placed on a couple of occasions in maiden company on the all-weather last year and returns to the Flat for a new yard, but a token vote goes to BUSALLA. He won off a 7lb higher mark at Listowel last season and showed a bit more when fifth in better company at Leopardstown last time.
