Only one of the last 10 winners of this has managed to defy a double-figure draw which doesn’t bode well for the likes of Cisco Disco and Tall Story while Rave N Contagion will do well to give Mick Mulvany a third win in this race in four years.

Dagoda has been knocking on the door while Li Mu Bai got off the mark over this trip at Fairyhouse, though is 8lb higher now.
