Bucky Larson is returning after a break but has two course victories to his credit and Ger Lyons will have him ready. FINIANS BAY also arrives following a long absence but he was in excellent form when last seen last summer, landing a maiden on heavy ground here before runner-up to Sonnyboyliston, who is now rated 109, at the Curragh. Tauran Shaman has no fitness concerns having scored over 1m2f here last month for which he's up 6lb. Juyush completed a Dundalk hat-trick over a mile at the end of last year and will have found 7f too short on his reappearance here while Tejano, an easy Gowran maiden winner, attempted to make all and was in the lead at this trip when tackling 1m2f at the Curragh and will be suited by the better ground and shorter trip.
