Willie Mullins won this last year with Low Sun and Legal Spin, for who Ryan Moore has been booked, could be capable of much more than he's shown to date. Days Without End won a Dundalk handicap in December and was having his first subsequent start when runner-up over hurdles at Punchestown last month. ST STEPHENS GREEN has been chasing without showing any progress from an opening victory. He won a handicap here last May and ran a cracking race behind Limini in a Leopardstown premier handicap in September and a repeat would see him in the firing line. Jake Peter won very easily over 1m4f at Fairyhouse but is just as effective over this trip. He was conceding 20lb when beaten 4l behind Shakespear'sgalley at Down Royal and should get very much closer on these terms. Tirmizi was headed right on the line when runner-up over the track and trip last month, his first start over the distance, so must be on the shortlist in a very competitive finale.
