A much better field than normal for this type of contest. Jamie Codd's presence will ensure ZEFTAN attracts support and his mount loves it around here having gained his last four victories on the track. He can concede weight all round though Patrick Mullins is on board Political Policy and Gavin Cromwell's charge is going well though he only had a narrow victory over the veteran Kalann at Navan and the latter is a massive 10lb better off. Light That has been in fine form though needs some cut in the ground while Apparition, though in good form, has never raced over a trip this far. Park Row is up 7lb for winning a Gowran handicap but Finny Maguire's claim will help.
