Benefitthewest was put up 7lb after winning at Tramore and that might be enough to anchor her here. Bye Bye O Bye was pulled up at Down Royal after winning at Tipperary but recent course and distance second House Limit must have a chance - Hilden's run in the previous race should be a good guide. We might be in for one of Patrick O'Brady's legendary post-race celebrations as SHABRA'S BERTOLINI wasn't disgraced at Kilbeggan earlier this month after finishing third over track and trip earlier - this looks easier. Abu Nayef showed improvement last time and looks best of the rest.
