Lisa O'Neill won this last year and rides Florencio, six times an all-weather winner, for Jamie Osborne, who is also represented by Acrux, four times a winner for David O'Meara this summer and the mount of Patrick Mullins. Ishebayorgrey has won nine races and loves the Polytrack so he's respected as he's by no means harshly treated. Markhan won easily over a mile at Ayr but didn't run as well at Carlisle a few days later while Military Hill was beaten in this a year ago and his recent victories came over 1m2f. The once-useful Seanie should be capable of a big run from this lowly mark if getting a run from his reserve spot while RED AVENGER's last run over this trip produced a victory at the Curragh and he's handed the vote in what looks a tight handicap.
