Dedigout won this in 2015 and is one of four entries from Gordon Elliott. However, it will be a surprise if he can beat his very progressive stable companion SUTTON PLACE, the winner of a Grade 2 on his final start last season and a very impressive winner on his reappearance at Naas where he easily accounted for Supasundae. De Plotting Shed has found the going tough at this sort of level after completing a hat-trick but Renneti ran the race of his life behind Jezki at Navan and would be an obvious threat in that kind of form.
