Golden Sunset was in fine form at the beginning of the year and looks well handicapped but has needed his comeback in recent years. Bellaney Gem gave notice of an imminent victory when runner-up at Punchestown while Boghlone Honey made a very promising handicap debut at Sligo. Island Mahee has been running well over shorter though hasn't proved she stays this far but DESSIE DESCHAMPS (NAP) has no problems with the distance or going and ran easily his best race since transferred to Gordon Elliott when placed at Cork. He gets the vote with Pino Boy looking to gain compensation for an expensive failure here last time.
