Jiving Jerry was beaten eight lengths into second in this a year ago and is just 1lb higher but came into the race in winning form. MEET AND GREET (NAP) won a two-mile maiden here in February but has no problems with this trip having finished third behind top-class novices The Nice Guy and Minella Crooner over three miles in a Punchestown Grade 1. The latter pair's trainer is represented by Cash Back, who has raced mainly over fences for the past three years and arrives here on a 12lb lower mark. Gordon Elliott has four entries with the lightly-raced Bold Getaway possibly the best of the quartet while any further rain would suit Chicago Time, who landed a three-mile Listed race on heavy ground at Cork a year ago and makes his handicap debut.
