Napa Starr's third at the Curragh last week was a very solid effort, though the handicapper has put him up 4lb since. Leceile tackled Group 3 company last time and should find this easier, while Rare Symphony comes here off the back of a fair run over 1m2f at Cork. Malayan Mist and Aznavour return after a break, however, while Elusive Award is struggling to get his head in front and needs some help from the handicapper. Dawariya disappointed at Sligo last month so the vote goes to BAITSILEIR, who was having only his second start when winning by four lengths at Naas in July. Given time to mature further since, this extra furlong is in his favour and he can take this step up to handicap company in his stride.
