Danz Gift and Eglish have won a dozen times between them here, the former just leading with seven. The latter's yard also run Scarlet Dancer and Florence Thompson while three-times track winner Betrayed has Seamie Heffernan's assistance for the first time having been mainly apprentice-ridden lately. Sam's Xpress is the only three-year-old in the line-up and is taking on older horses for the first time having landed a 6f handicap against his own age group last month. SAMROGUE won here a year ago and completed a double at Cork and Laytown in the summer. He hasn't been in that kind of form over the winter but has had a break and is just 1lb higher than his last victory. Juno Beach is 0-14 but can't get any lower in the weights.
