Verdict
Only Spoofing has won this for the past two years, on both occasions coming into the race in poor form, so he's greatly respected. Curraheen Princess also loves it here and scored three times over the track and trip last year though she's generally needed her first start back. Tawaazon has won four times already this year but went up a massive 12lb for scoring here last month, though Jamie Powell is back on board. Jon Riggens was receiving 6lb when beaten a length by MICKEY THE STEEL on heavy ground here in October and will be no better off with the winning rider's claim taken into account. Beaten a head on heavy going at Naas in March, the latter looks the one to beat here.
