Mark Enright's claim should enable Liszt to get involved with his low weight as he's been going well in similar events and may have found 2m on the short side last time. Sugar Bullet ran very well behind the well handicapped Catleen at Leopardstown and though raised 4lb she can still make her presence felt. TOUGH TALKIN MAN won a maiden over this trip in 2010 and was having only his second start since that year when making Colls Corner pull out the stops at Naas last month. He should be at peak fitness here and gets the vote. Tequila Lord is in very good form and quite well handicapped but he's run 20 times over hurdles and his only venture beyond the minimum trip resulted in a poor effort.
