LABEILLE won this last year and is just 5lb higher. He looked as though he was running into form when staying on over 2m2f at Leopardstown in February and is taken to complete the double. Florimund, another to have scored over the course and distance, hasn't had much racing over the past few years but ran well enough over a trip too short here last month to go on the short-list. Peace In The West had been very disappointing on his previous two starts before scoring on heavy ground at Cork. He's 7lb higher and faces quicker ground though should get involved. Hazariban is still a maiden but tackling this trip for the first time could bring about enough improvement to get competitive.
