Angel Chorus hasn't done badly for Aidan O'Brien and should get into the argument but Silverpockets ran so poorly at Wexford last time that she's overlooked until showing signs of returning to form. Garron Crest showed a bit of dash over timber last time and looks capable of going well but it would be no surprise if this went to a newcomer. Lauren's Gift is from a top-class family of chasers and should do well when sent over obstacles but a chance is taken with THISTLE LILY, who is a half-sister to a winning bumper and should have more pace than most.
