A very competitive looking handicap in which Campeador may prove best of Gordon Elliott's quartet as the grey is a regular in these tough races and has dropped to a feasible mark. Silver Sheen was in brilliant form when last seen, completing a hat-trick when sent to Warwick just over a year ago, while Uisce Solas was the very easy winner of a Naas handicap last time for which she's been raised 12lb. Agusta Gold landed a Grade 3 chase at Fairyhouse earlier this year and can revert to hurdles on a 21lb lower mark so has to be considered but Wingin A Prayer is up 8lb for his victory at Punchestown on New Year's Eve. Wolf Prince has finished second in two Grade 2's in recent weeks and though taking on older and more experienced horses a mark of 135 may be underestimating his ability. Hear No Evil won twice over fences in the UK in the autumn and reverts to hurdles 8lb lower but the vote goes to DAMALISQUE, who was well supported when runner-up in a similar race at Naas in November and will enjoy the conditions.
