Timeless Focus was in the lead at this trip before just run out of it when tackling 1m1f at Leopardstown and, as that was only his sixth run, he'll make a bold bid here. Chaplin Bay found 6f just too short behind Captain Power at Leopardstown and had only been beaten a short-head when runner-up over this trip at Dundalk earlier. Bellewstown winner Easy Boy looks as though he needs further as does Pure Drama, whose latest run was over an extended 1m1f. Navan winner Caution has a chance despite a big weight but it's SEA OF BLUE who gets the vote as he was returning after a long break when catching the eye at Galway and can't get much lower in the ratings.
