Cnocan Diva looks well enough handicapped despite her big weight and her run behind Boom And Bust at Naas suggests she won't go down without a fight here. Happy Anniversary took advantage of very testing conditions to score at Bellewstown last week and with just 4lb extra to contend with has to be considered but it's LANDSDOWNE who gets the vote. Tracey Collins' charge had today's rival Moscow Treat just behind at Cork in May and ran another fine race behind the in-form Bubbly Bellini at Limerick last month. Megan Carberry's claim will help and he can gain his second victory. Aragorn Icon spends more time on Polytrack these days but he's only scored on Turf and has run well here in the past.
