Treat Yourself won this in 2014 and hasn't scored since but is still 4lb higher. Rogue Trader hasn't had much experience and after chasing home Douvan at Navan made too many mistakes at Fairyhouse. He makes his handicap debut over fences but has the class to get into the frame. Kates Benefit has been a bit in-and-out but would be a threat at her best as she looks well enough treated. BOHER CALL is a consistent performer who likes the ground and arrives in winning form. He's up to his highest mark after his Naas success but should be in the shake-up and gets the nod. Eiri Na Casca had Finea 4l behind when scoring at Naas and is on the upgrade but this is a better race and an 11lb rise won't aid his cause.
