Gee Rex has been a talking horse since changing stables, starting favourite on both occasions. He didn't do much wrong over 7f at Naas last time and the longer trip won't be a problem. His yard is also represented by easy Naas winner Capel At Dawn though he's been hit with a 10lb rise. Love Bracelet competed at a high level last summer and an opening mark of 75 could prove lenient while Sayesse has managed nine victories and is only 3lb higher than the latest at Dundalk. Khafaaq is 6lb higher than when scoring there in November while Shawaf has never won though has also run well at Dundalk the last twice but Passing Trade, another who has been going well, is 1-34 which doesn't inspire confidence. AT WAR returned from a long break to run a fine race at Gowran where he only faded close home after looking the likely winner. He can get off the mark though Sasta could be very well handicapped and can go close if ready after a long break.
