Oh Me Oh My won a course and distance maiden in June but hasn't done so well subsequently and faces a stiff task. Dragon Khan hasn't been out for over a year and is best on testing ground while Solar Heat had been beaten 15 times over hurdles before scrambling home in a maiden here last month when Kiera Royale was a close fourth. The latter, who has since run well in a Punchestown handicap where she had Omega Springs back in fourth, can turn the tables. Orchard Road made a promising start over fences at Tramore but has only won once in 18 starts over hurdles so the vote goes to BAILY SUNSET. He had shown nothing before a much-improved run in a first-time hood at Kilbeggan where he battled on gamely to see off Fiosrach and, with just 4lb extra to contend with, can complete a double.
