Benemeade was taken out of a race here on Thursday so today's testing conditions probably won't suit. Willie Mullins arrives with a quartet of entries and none can be dismissed though Sweet My Lord is better handicapped over fences and Balnaslow looks a few pounds high. Call Me Bubbles is up 7lb for his Ballinrobe success and has been beaten twice on the Flat since including here on Monday so the lightly-raced and improving Security Breach may prove best of the champion trainer's contingent though this is tough for a four-year-old. If LANDERO takes to the conditions then he will be very difficult to beat as he could have won by a distance at Roscommon if Robbie Power had let him loose. He's never raced on ground this testing but is still given the nod over Blossom Gate, who won't mind the ground despite winning on fast going at Limerick. Fiery Oscar looks in the grip of the handicapper after his early season four-timer though all those victories were gained on soft going and his latest runs have been on much quicker ground.
