Gatwick Kitten was caught 1f out on heavy going over this trip at the Curragh then led for a long way over 6f on a return visit so looks certain to get competitive again. King Of Stars led until caught close home over slightly further here a fortnight ago so is another likely to set a strong pace along with Nullifier, who makes a quick reappearance after showing very good speed at Naas on Sunday. XIAN EXPRESS showed good speed throughout when tackling 6f on heavy going at the Curragh last month and was only beaten a length. He's just handed the vote in a tricky opener.
