Scouting Party has been hit with a 10lb rise for winning at Thurles earlier this month and may struggle to give the weight to TALES OF MILAN.

Slaney Conflict ran well behind Mr Shankly at Limerick and will love the testing conditions while Dante Anna has been performing in stronger company after her maiden victory at Gowran in December and is on the short-list.
