Diamondgeezer Luke won this in 2014 and is the only course and distance winner in the line-up. He didn't run badly last time and isn't out of this. You Can't Catch Me went up 10lb after completing a Clonmel double but ran well for a long way at Tipperary where a bad mistake put paid to his chances. GIVE HER BACH (NAP) ran a cracking race over fences at Wexford before heading to Galway on Wednesday and producing her best run to date with a close third to Our Kylie. She's on the same mark here and, if running up to that form, should be very difficult to beat. Konig Hall has been narrowly beaten on his last two starts over the minimum and looks well treated if staying the extra but Hes Our Robin has yet to score in 18 starts.
