PILBARA (NAP) went up 20lb for landing an old-fashioned touch at Tipperary and though only scrambling home at Cork, the third was 14 lengths behind and he can defy a 5lb penalty and complete a hat-trick. Bold Enough was having only his second start over timber when scoring comfortably at Tipperary where he beat a 112-rated rival so he doesn't look overburdened on 119. Bon Retour is hard to evaluate as he's arrived from France where he was placed in an Auteuil handicap on testing going - a mark of 121 could be seriously underestimating him. Abraham has won two of his last three though his defeat came on heavy ground and he wouldn't want much more rain. De Mazzaro was placed at the fixture last year and won a decent handicap here in October though both over 2m.
